[Verse 1]
A#m D#
There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
Cm7 Fm
She's got a broken heart
A#m D#
She's not the kind to take you down for long
Cm7 Fm
She knows and plays it smart
A#m D# Cm7 Fm
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
A#m D# Cm7 Fm
(Ah--) She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
A#m D# Cm7 Fm
(Ah--) She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
A#m D#7
(Ah--) Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh
[Chorus]
G# C# G# C#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
G# C# G# C#
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
D#
All your life
C# F# C# A#m Cm7 Fm
You were on your own
[Verse 2]
Fm C# G#
If you want you can ride my train
C G#
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
C# A#m7 D#7 G#
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
G#7 C#
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
[Bridge]
A#m7 D# Cm7 Fm A#m7 D#7 G#
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
G# C# G# C#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
G# C# G# C#
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
G# C# G# C#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
G# C# G# C#
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
G# C# G# C#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
G# C# G# C#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
G# C# G# C#
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ...
