[Verse 1]
C#m F#
There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
D#m7 G#m
She's got a broken heart
C#m F#
She's not the kind to take you down for long
D#m7 G#m
She knows and plays it smart
C#m F# D#m7 G#m
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
C#m F# D#m7 G#m
(Ah--) She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
C#m F# D#m7 G#m
(Ah--) She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
C#m F#7
(Ah--) Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh
[Chorus]
B E B E
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
B E B E
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
F#
All your life
E A E C#m D#m7 G#m
You were on your own
[Verse 2]
G#m E B
If you want you can ride my train
D# B
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
E C#m7 F#7 B
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
B7 E
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
[Bridge]
C#m7 F# D#m7 G#m C#m7 F#7 B
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
B E B E
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
B E B E
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
B E B E
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
B E B E
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
B E B E
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
B E B E
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
B E B E
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ...
