Lyrics
(Dm)Tried to keep you close to me,
but life got in between.
Tried to square not being there,
but think that I should have been.
(C)Hold 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 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 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 back the river, hold (C)back.
Hold 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 back the river, hold (C)back.
(Dm)Oh, oh, (F)oh,
oh, (Bb)oh, oh, (F)oh,
oh, (Bb)oh, oh, (F)oh, oh, oh.
(F6)Lonely water, lonely water won't you (Bbmaj9)let us wander.
(Gm11)Let us hold each other.
(F)Lonely water, lonely water won't you (Bbmaj9)let us wander.
(Gm11)Let us hold each other.
Hold 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 back the river, hold (C)back.
Hold 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 back the river, oh.
(F)Lonely water, lonely water won't you (Bbmaj9)let us wander.
(Gm11)Let us hold (C)each other.
(F)Lonely water, lonely water won't you (Bbmaj9)let us wander.
(Gm11)Let us hold each other.
