WATERFALLS [Left Eye]
by TLC Come on

E B I seen a rainbow yesterday
A lonely mother gazing out of her window But too many storms have come and gone
D A Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray
Staring at a son that she just can't touch Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
E B I pray all ten fade away
If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
D A
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much And like His promise is true
Only my faith can undo
E B The many chances I blew
But all the praying just ain't helping at all To bring my life to anew
D A Clear blue and unconditional skies
'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble Have dried the tears from my eyes
E No more lonely cries
So he goes out and he makes his money the best
B My only bleedin' hope
way he knows how Is for the folk who can't cope
D A With such an endurin' pain
Another body laying cold in the gutter That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
Listen to me Who's to blame
For tootin' 'caine into your own vein
[Chorus:] What a shame
E B You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
Don't go chasing waterfalls You claim the insane
D And name this day in time
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're For fallin' prey to crime
A I say the system got you victim to your own mind
used to Dreams are hopeless aspirations
E In hopes of comin' true
I know that you're gonna have it your way or Believe in yourself
B The rest is up to me and you
nothing at all
D A [Chorus (2x)]
But I think you're moving too fast

E B
Little precious has a natural obsession
D A
For temptation but he just can't see
E B
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
D A
But all he can say is "Baby, it's good to me."
E B
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
D A
But he doesn't recognize his own face
E B
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
D A
Three letters took him to his final resting place
Y'all don't hear me

[Chorus (2x)]
