C    G    D    C
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em         G             C         G
Thirty-three, I’ve been on the edge findin’
C           G             D               C
Where my head fits in, all the lives I led
Em       G         C           G
Twenty-two, never left the island
C        G              D             C
So convinced I’d be what I would become
 
 
[Chorus]
         C                       D     Em
Twenty years sat on the brink, I Am a riverbank
     G                       C
Oh, Lord, I’m waitin’ for you
C                     D         Em      G
Twenty years, I’ve ridden my lies, so long I’m mummified
C                 D       Em            G
And the river that I’m holdin’, never lost my vision
     Am            C     Am           C   D
But time is on my side, time is on my side

[Verse 2]
Em      G             C             G
Forty-one, I’ve done things I’d murder for
C          G         D             C
Raisin’ boys is a pedal to the floor
Em            G          C           G
When I was twelve I was flexin’ muscles and
C         G          D              C
Dirty mirrors and you were bein’ for
 
 
[Chorus]
         C                       D     Em
Twenty years sat on the brink, I Am a riverbank
     G                       C
Oh, Lord, I’m waitin’ for you
C                     D         Em      G
Twenty years, I’ve ridden my lies, so long I’m mummified
C                 D       Em            G
And the river that I’m holdin’, never lost my vision
     Am            C     Am           C   D
But time is on my side, time is on my side

[Verse 3]
Em      G           C           G
Sixty-four, will I still be waitin’
C            G            D               C
Combed my hair back to try to stop the past
Em          G              Am        G
You’ll be gone, you’ll be livin’ large in three
C         G        D           C
City’s far away, I will be anew
 
 
[Chorus]
         C                       D     Em
Twenty years sat on the brink, I Am a riverbank
     G                       C
Oh, Lord, I’m waitin’ for you
C                     D         Em      G
Twenty years, I’ve ridden my lies, so long I’m mummified
C                 D       Em            G
And the river that I’m holdin’, never lost my vision
     Am            C     Am           C   D
But time is on my side, time is on my side
    Em
Oh, Lord
