[Verse 1]
C                       Am
Heart is like a river
F            G            C            Am            F            G
But your mind’s just away on the world
C            Am            F            G            C            Am            F            G
But does it really matter when the crow’s never eager to learn

[Chorus]
C                       Am                                  C                       F
But sometimes you must follow when the trail’s about to turn
F                       G                       C            F                       G
But does it really matter when your mind is on the girl

C            Am            F            G            C            Am            F            G
Would it really matter if you stay to let others believe

[Chorus]
C                       Am                                  C                                  F
But sometimes there’s a straight line you must follow like a bird
F            G                       C                       F                       G
And what does really matter when a mind is on a girl

C                                  Am                                  C                       F
But sometimes there’s a straight line you must follow like a bird
F            G            C            F            G            C/G            G
And what does really matter when a mind is on a girl
