[Verse]
Gm Fm
We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour
Gm Fm
I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight
Gm Fm
You took something before you went in the shower
Gm Fm
You have suppressed the things that make you feel uptight
A# A#/F A# A#/F
If I had known you couldn't swim we would never have gone in
[Chorus]
D# A# G#
I left my love in the river
D# A# G#
The only one who sees
D# A# G#
I lost his hand in the current
A# Gm Fm
It was the life I wanted and I’d hoped for
A# Gm Fm
And now I am left sifting through the leaves
[Verse]
Gm Fm
His arms so hard, I saw his skin through his t-shirt
Gm Fm
The grass so tall, we knew we wouldn't be found
Gm Fm
We climbed into the stream so no one will be heard
Gm Fm
And in no time at all there wasn't a sound
A# A#/F A# A#/F
If I’d known you couldn't swim we would have never gone in
[Chorus]
D# A# G#
I left my love in the river
D# A# G#
The only one who sees
D# A# G#
I lost his hand in the current
A# Gm Fm
It was the life I wanted and I’d hoped for
A# Gm Fm
And now you’re left sifting through the leaves

No colour to his skin, inform the next of kin
A# G#
No colour to his skin
[Chorus]

I left my love in the river
