[Verse 1]
D#m G#
There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
Fm7 A#m
She's got a broken heart
D#m G#
She's not the kind to take you down for long
Fm7 A#m
She knows and plays it smart
D#m G# Fm7 A#m
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
D#m G# Fm7 A#m
(Ah--) She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
D#m G# Fm7 A#m
(Ah--) She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
D#m G#7
(Ah--) Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh
[Chorus]
C# F# C# F#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
C# F# C# F#
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
G#
All your life
F# B F# D#m Fm7 A#m
You were on your own
[Verse 2]
A#m F# C#
If you want you can ride my train
F C#
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
F# D#m7 G#7 C#
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
C#7 F#
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
[Bridge]
D#m7 G# Fm7 A#m D#m7 G#7 C#
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
C# F# C# F#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
C# F# C# F#
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
C# F# C# F#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
C# F# C# F#
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
C# F# C# F#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
C# F# C# F#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
C# F# C# F#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ...
