[Verse 1]
D                         A
   A lonely mother gazing out of her window
         C                            G
Staring at a son that she just can't touch
          D                             A
If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
               C                       G
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
 
D                                 A
   But all the praying just ain't helping at all
                C                            G
'cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
               D                               A
So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
        C                       G
Another body laying cold in the gutter, listen to me
 
[Chorus]
D                A
Don't go chasing waterfalls
                    C                                G
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
                   D                         A
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
                   C               G
But I think you're moving too fast
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                       A
  Little precious has a natural obsession
        C                        G
For temptation but he just can't see
D                               A
  She gives him loving that his body can't handle
         C                        G
But all he can say is "baby it's good to me"
D                             A
  One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
       C                         G
But he doesn't recognize his own face
D                             A
  His health is fading and he doesn't know why
          C                     G
3 letters took him to his final resting place, y'all don't hear me?
 
[Chorus]
D                A
Don't go chasing waterfalls
                    C                                G
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
                   D                         A
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
                   C               G
But I think you're moving too fast
 
[Chorus]
D                A
Don't go chasing waterfalls
                    C                                G
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
                   D                         A
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
                   C               G
But I think you're moving too fast    c'mon
 
[Verse 3]
D                                           A
  I seen a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms have come and gone
                                     C
Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray, is it because my life is ten shades of gray?
           G
I pray all ten fade away Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
D                                                   A
  And like His promise is true only my faith can undo
                                               C
The many chances I blew, to bring my life to anew
                                                   G                   N.C.
Clear blue and unconditional skies, have dried the tears from my eyes, no more lonely cries
    D
My only bleedin' hope, is for the folk who can't cope
                A
With such an endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
C
  Who's to blame for tootin' 'caine into your own vein?
G
  What a shame you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
     D
You claim the insane and name this day in time for fallin' prey
     A
to crime I say the system got you victim to your own mind
C
  Dreams are hopeless aspirations
                  G
In hopes of comin' true believe in yourself the rest is up to me and you
 
[Chorus]
D                A
Don't go chasing waterfalls
                    C                                G
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
                   D                         A
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
                   C               G
But I think you're moving too fast
 
[Chorus]
D                A
Don't go chasing waterfalls
                    C                                G
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
                   D                         A
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
                    C               G
But I think you're moving too fast
