Thirsty Lyrics

Thirsty - Chris Rice
(Key of E – Chords every 2 beats) rev.
VERSE #1 (piano only)
I’m so
thirsty. I can feel it, burning
D2 D2 Bsus B (hold)
through the furthest corners of my soul. Deep
desire I can’t describe this nameless
urge that drives me somewhere though I don’t know where to go. Seems I’ve
heard about a river from someone who’s been. And they
tell me once you reach it oh you’ll never thirst again. So, I
- -m
have to find the river, somehow my life depends on the
river Holy river Other
VERSE #2 (Add drums/Accoust.)
water I’ve been drinkin’ but they
D2 D2 Bsus B (hold)
always leave me empty like before. Satis-
faction all I’m askin’ could I
really be this thirsty if there weren’t something more. And I
heard about a river from someone who’s been. And they
tell me once you reach it oh you’ll never thirst again. So, I
have to find the river, somehow my life depends on the
river Holy river I am so
CHORUS #1
thirsty. I am so
D2 D2 Bsus B (hold)
thirsty. Along the
Thirsty (pg.2)
VERSE #3 (Piano & bass only)
shore now of the wildest river and I
D2 D2 Bsus B (hold)
kneel and beg for mercy from the skies No one
answers. Gotta take my chances `cause
something deep inside me’s crying this is why you are alive. So, I
plunge into the river with all that I am. Praying
this will be the river where I’ll never thirst again. I’m
abandoned to the river, and now my life depends on the
river Holy river I am so
CHORUS #2
thirsty. So
us
thirsty. I am so
thirsty. I am so
us
thirsty. Oh…
us
us
