G
It's three miles to the river
C
That would carry me away,
Am7
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.
G
It's four miles to my lonely room
C
Where I will hide my face,
Am7
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.
Em
Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
A7
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
D
All I know is, since you've been gone
C
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.
G
In three more days, I'll leave this town
C
And disappear without a trace.
Am7
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.
G
I wish that I could hold you
C
One more time to ease the pain,
Am7
But my time's run out and I got to go,
Got to run away again.
Em
Still I catch myself thinking,
A7
One day I'll find my way back here.
D
You'll save me from drowning,
C
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?
C
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
