Here are the lyrics as Clay Aiken sang them on the demo I mentioned above.  And here are the chords I figured out from listening to that version.  (The Fmaj7 and the Dm7 are optional;  you could stay on F.  And the Dm in the last line of the chorus could be an F.  The C to A7 transition in the 3rd line of the chorus should be a walk down, but I can't post my vertical arrows here.)

I Know How The River Feels  (Steven Dale Jones/Amy Powers)     
recorded by Diamond Rio

F                                                     Fmaj7       C    Am   Em    G  
They say for everyone there's that certain one out there somewhere.
F                                                 Dm7            C  Am  Em   G
I've been lookin' hard, searchin' every heart,   gettin'  nowhere.
 F                             G                         Am
Didn't know I was makin' my way to you.

F                                 C               F                                C
Now I know how the river feels     when it reaches the sea.
                F            C                 Am                  G
It finally finds the place it was always meant to be,
   F                 Fm               C                                 A7
Holdin' fast, home at last, knowin' the journey's through
         Dm                     G                            C
Lyin' here with you I know how the river feels.


F                                             Fmaj7              C    Am Em    G  
 Miles of loneliness now make perfect sense here  beside  you.
F                                            Am7              C   Am  Em  G
 Tears like water fall.  It was worth them all just  to  find you,
          C                 Am                    F    
And yours are the last arms I'll run to.

F         G7                  C                F                               C
Now I know how the river feels     when it reaches the sea.
                F            C              Am                     G
It finally finds the place it was always meant to be,
   F                C          Fm  C                                 A7
Holdin' fast, home at last, knowin' the journey's through.
          Dm                     G                          C
Lyin' here with you I know how the river feels.
   F                C         Fm    C                                 A7
Holdin' fast, home at last, knowin' the journey's through.
          F                        G                            C
Lyin' here with you I know how the river feels.
