Lyrics
(Dm)Tried to (F)keep you (Bb)close to (F)me,
but (Bb)life got (F)in between.
(Dm)Tried to (F)square not (Bb)being (F)there,
but (Bb)think that (F)I should have been.
(C)Hold (Bb)back the river, let me look in your eyes.
Hold back the river so I can stop (F)for a minute and see where you hide.
Hold (C)back the river, hold back.
(Dm)Once (F)upon a (Bb)diff'rent (F)life we (Bb)rode our (F)bikes into the sky.
(C)But (Dm)now we (F)crawl (Bb)against the (F)tide.
Those (Bb)distant (F)days are flashing by.
(C)Hold (Bb)back the river, let me look in your eyes.
Hold back the river so I can stop (F)for a minute and be by your side.
Hold (C)back the river, hold back.
Hold (Bb)back the river, let me look in your eyes.
Hold back the river so I can stop (F)for a minute and see where you hide.
Hold (C)back the river, hold back.
(Dm)Oh, oh, (F)oh,
oh, (Bb)oh, oh, (F)oh,
oh, (Bb)oh, oh, (F)oh,
oh, oh.
(F)Lonely water, lonely water, won't you (Bb)let us wander.
(Gm)Let us hold each other.
(F)Lonely water, lonely water, won't you (Bb)let us wander.
(Gm)Let us hold each other.
Hold (F)Lonely water,
lonely water, won't you (Bb)let us wander.
(Gm)Let us hold (C)each other.
(F)Lonely water, lonely water, won't you (Bb)let us wander.
(Gm)Let us hold each other.
