B♭
It's three miles to the river
E♭
That would carry me away,
Cm7
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.
B♭
It's four miles to my lonely room
E♭
Where I will hide my face,
Cm7
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.
Gm
Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
C7
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
F
All I know is, since you've been gone
E♭
I feel like I'm drowning in a river,
Dr owning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feel like I'm drowning,
Drowning in a river.
B♭
In three more days, I'll leave this town
E♭
And disappear without a trace.
Cm7
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.
B♭
I wish that I could hold you
E♭
One more time to ease the pain,
Cm7
But my time's run out and I got to go,
Got to run away again.
Gm
Still I catch myself thinking,
C7
One day I'll find my way back here.
F
You'll save me from drowning,
E♭
Drowning in a river,
Dr owning 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?
E♭
Drowning in a river,
Dr owning in a river of tears.
