E♭
It's three miles to the river
G＃
That would carry me away,
Fm7
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.
E♭
It's four miles to my lonely room
G＃
Where I will hide my face,
Fm7
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.
Cm
Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
F7
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
B♭
All I know is, since you've been gone
G＃
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.

E♭
In three more days, I'll leave this town
G＃
And disappear without a trace.
Fm7
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.
E♭
I wish that I could hold you
G＃
One more time to ease the pain,
Fm7
But my time's run out and I got to go,
Got t o run away again.
Cm
Still I catch myself thinking,
F7
One day I'll find my way back here.
B♭
You'll save me from drowning,
G＃
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 l ong must this go on?
E♭／E♭／G＃／G＃／Fm7／Fm7／B♭7sus4／B♭7
G＃
Drowning in a river,
Dr owning in a river of tears.
