[Verse 1]
Bm E
There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
C#m7 F#m
She's got a broken heart
Bm E
She's not the kind to take you down for long
C#m7 F#m
She knows and plays it smart
Bm E C#m7 F#m
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
Bm E C#m7 F#m
(Ah--) She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
Bm E C#m7 F#m
(Ah--) She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
Bm E7
(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
E
All your life
D G D Bm C#m7 F#m
You were on your own
[Verse 2]
F#m D A
If you want you can ride my train
C# A
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
D Bm7 E7 A
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
A7 D
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
[Bridge]
Bm7 E C#m7 F#m Bm7 E7 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 ...
