The River

Am
I could've sworn this was the way

Tell me again, why do we stay
            G                    Am
On such a lonely, lonely, lonely road?

You'd never guess, I'd never know

We're on the same side and it's gonna be
    G                     D
A lonely, lonely, lonely road

C    F                 Am
If I follow you to the river
        G
Send my blues out to the sea
         Dm7
Will you stay with me forever?
Am       F
Will you chase me in my dreams?
C    F                   Am
If I throw it all in the river
            G
And let the rhythm take the lead
        Dm7
Will it stay with you whenever
         F
That you leave on me?

F      G       Am
Ooh, I know, I know
F      G    Am
Ooh, I know-ow

Am
You had a choice, I couldn't make

And this is the last turn that you take
     G                      Am
On a lonely, lonely, lonely road

Give me your hand, here is my heart

Where does it end? When do we start?
     G                      D
On a lonely, lonely, lonely road

C    F                 Am
If I follow you to the river
        G
Send my blues out to the sea
         Dm7
Will you stay with me forever?
Am       F
Will you chase me in my dreams?
C    F                   Am
If I throw it all in the river
            G
And let the rhythm take the lead
        Dm7
Will it stay with you whenever
         F
That you leave on me?

F      G       Am
Ooh, I know, I know
F      G    Am
Ooh, I know-ow

F      G                  Am
I'm an echo in your shadow
                             F
And your shadows, I'm in too deep
           G                Am
In the river, your reflection
                             F
Is a promise you couldn't keep

                        G                           Am
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I lost you here
                                                    F
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I took you here
                        G                           Am
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I lost you here
                                               F
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know this is fair

   G      Am
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah
 F  G     Am
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah

     F                 Am
If I follow you to the river

(  G  Dm  C  F )

C    F                 Am   G
If I follow you to the river
          (If I follow you to the river)
                              Dm   F
And your shadows, they run so deep
                    F                    Am
Oh I would take you there
                 (If I follow you to the river)
         G
And your shadows, in the river, your reflection
Dm7              Am       F
Is a promise you couldn't keep

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
C    F      Am
If I, (if I), whoah
           (Follow you to the river)
                Dm7    F
If I follow you there

In the river, your reflection
            Am            G
Is a promise you couldn't keep

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
           Dm7
I lost you here
(Oh, if I follow you to the river)
         F      C
And your shadow
F                                 Am
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
           G
I lost you here

I know, I know, I know
           Dm7    F
I love you now
