[Verse 1]
Gm F
I didn't want to say it in this way

I didn't want to see the day I'd say these words to you

It's killing me to see you cry

Would it make it any better if I told you I did it all for you

It was just another roll of the dice
Dm
Just another star in the sky
C
Tried to touch it but I couldn't fly
[Chorus]
A# C F Fbm
Everybody knows the promise of the river
Dm C
Everybody goes with the fire in their eyes
A# C Dm A#
Everybody knows you can lead a horse to water
F C
But there's nothing anybody can do
Rivers run dry
