For the beginning of the song, the riff is played twice, then played over the verse:

Riff                         Riff
She said that time is unfair to a woman her age,

Riff                    Riff
Now that wisdom has come, everything else fades,

F
She said she realizes that,

C
She's seen her better days,

Riff (x2)
(drum beat which can be done very well with muted strumming on an acoustic)

Riff                        Riff
She said you gotta look back, to the days of youth,

Riff                      Riff
What she thought were lies, she later found was truth,

F
She said her daddy had dreams,

C
But he drank them away,

Riff x2

F
And her mother's to blame,

C
For the way she is today,

Riff x2
(drum beat)

G                  Cadd9
Life's river shall rise, she said,

G            Cadd9
Then only the strong shall survive, she said,

G                    Cadd9
But I'm feeling quite weak, she said,

G                     Cadd9
Won't you comfort and forgive me, she said

Riff x4

Riff                          Riff
She said she's still searching for salvation's light,

Riff                     Riff
Yeah, she wishes all day, then she prays all night,

F
She said she won't speak of love,

C
Cause love she's never known,

Riff x2

F
And it's moments like these,

C
When she hates to be alone,

Riff x2
(drum beat)

G                  Cadd9
Life's river shall rise, she said,

G              Cadd9
Then only the strong shall survive, she said,

G                       Cadd9
But I'm feeling quite weak, she said,

G                     Cadd9
Will you comfort and forgive me, she said,

Riff x2
