[Verse 1]
Fm A#
There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
Gm7 Cm
She's got a broken heart
Fm A#
She's not the kind to take you down for long
Gm7 Cm
She knows and plays it smart
Fm A# Gm7 Cm
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
Fm A# Gm7 Cm
(Ah--) She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
Fm A# Gm7 Cm
(Ah--) She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
Fm A#7
(Ah--) Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh
[Chorus]
D# G# D# G#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
D# G# D# G#
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
A#
All your life
G# C# G# Fm Gm7 Cm
You were on your own
[Verse 2]
Cm G# D#
If you want you can ride my train
G D#
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
G# Fm7 A#7 D#
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
D#7 G#
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
[Bridge]
Fm7 A# Gm7 Cm Fm7 A#7 D#
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
D# G# D# G#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
D# G# D# G#
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
D# G# D# G#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
D# G# D# G#
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
D# G# D# G#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
D# G# D# G#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
D# G# D# G#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ...
