[Verse 1]
Cm F
There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
Dm7 Gm
She's got a broken heart
Cm F
She's not the kind to take you down for long
Dm7 Gm
She knows and plays it smart
Cm F Dm7 Gm
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
Cm F Dm7 Gm
(Ah--) She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
Cm F Dm7 Gm
(Ah--) She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
Cm F7
(Ah--) Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh
[Chorus]
A# D# A# D#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
A# D# A# D#
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
F
All your life
D# G# D# Cm Dm7 Gm
You were on your own
[Verse 2]
Gm D# A#
If you want you can ride my train
D A#
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
D# Cm7 F7 A#
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
A#7 D#
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
[Bridge]
Cm7 F Dm7 Gm Cm7 F7 A#
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
A# D# A# D#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
A# D# A# D#
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
A# D# A# D#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
A# D# A# D#
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
A# D# A# D#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
A# D# A# D#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
A# D# A# D#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ...
