[Verse 1]
Dm G
There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
Em7 Am
She's got a broken heart
Dm G
She's not the kind to take you down for long
Em7 Am
She knows and plays it smart
Dm G Em7 Am
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
Dm G Em7 Am
(Ah--) She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
Dm G Em7 Am
(Ah--) She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
Dm G7
(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 A# F Dm Em7 Am
You were on your own
[Verse 2]
Am F C
If you want you can ride my train
E C
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
F Dm7 G7 C
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
C7 F
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
[Bridge]
Dm7 G Em7 Am Dm7 G7 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 ...
