[Verse 1]
F#m B
There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
G#m7 C#m
She's got a broken heart
F#m B
She's not the kind to take you down for long
G#m7 C#m
She knows and plays it smart
F#m B G#m7 C#m
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
F#m B G#m7 C#m
(Ah--) She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
F#m B G#m7 C#m
(Ah--) She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
F#m B7
(Ah--) Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh
[Chorus]
E A E A
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
E A E A
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
B
All your life
A D A F#m G#m7 C#m
You were on your own
[Verse 2]
C#m A E
If you want you can ride my train
G# E
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
A F#m7 B7 E
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
E7 A
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
[Bridge]
F#m7 B G#m7 C#m F#m7 B7 E
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
E A E A
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
E A E A
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
E A E A
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
E A E A
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
E A E A
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
E A E A
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
E A E A
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ...
