(Intro)
[C] [G] [Bb] [Fmaj7]
(Verse)
A lo[C]nely mother gazini[G]ng out of the window
Staring a[Bb]t her son that she just can't t[Fmaj7]ouch
If at any ti[C]me he's in a jam she'll be b[G]y his side
But he doesn't rea[Bb]lize he hurts her so [Fmaj7]much
[C]But all the praying just ain't he[G]lping at all
Cuz he can't s[Bb]eem to keep his self out of[Fmaj7] trouble
So he goes out and [C]he makes his money
The best w[G]ay he knows how
Another bo[Bb]dy layin cold in the g[Fmaj7]utter
Listen to me
(Chorus)
[C]Don't go chasing w[G]aterfalls
Please stick to the riv[Bb]ers
And the lakes that you're [Fmaj7]used to
I know that you're g[C]onna have it
Your way or no[G]thing at all
But I think you're m[Bb]oving too fast[Fmaj7]
(Verse)
[C]Little precious has a n[G]atural obsession
For tempt[Bb]ation but he just c[Fmaj7]an't see
She gives him lo[C]ving that his body
Can't ha[G]ndle but all he can s[Bb]ay
Is "baby [Fmaj7]is good to me"
[C]One day he goes and take a glimp[G]se in the mirror
But he doesn't [Bb]recognize his own[Fmaj7] face
His he[C]alth is fading and he do[G]esn't know why
[Bb]3 letters took him to his fi[Fmaj7]nal resting place...
Y'all don't you hear me
(Chorus)
[C]Don't go chasing w[G]aterfalls
Please stick to the riv[Bb]ers
And the lakes that you're [Fmaj7]used to
I know that you're g[C]onna have it
Your way or no[G]thing at all
But I think your mov[Bb]ing too fast(2x[Fmaj7])
