C
It's three miles to the river
F
That would carry me away,
Dm7
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.
C
It's four miles to my lonely room
F
Where I will hide my face,
Dm7
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.
Am
Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
D7
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
G
All I know is, since you've been gone
F
I feel like I'm drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feel like I'm drowning,
Drowning in a river.
C
In three more days, I'll leave this town
F
And disappear without a trace.
Dm7
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.
C
I wish that I could hold you
F
One more time to ease the pain,
Dm7
But my time's run out and I got to go,
Got to run away again.
Am
Still I catch myself thinking,
D7
One day I'll find my way back here.
G
You'll save me from drowning,
F
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feels like I'm drowning,
Drowning in the river.
Lord, how long must this go on?
F
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
