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