E
It's three miles to the river
A
That would carry me away,
F＃m7
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.
E
It's four miles to my lonely room
A
Where I will hide my face,
F＃m7
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.
C＃m
Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
F＃7
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
B
All I know is, since you've been gone
A
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.
E
In three more days, I'll leave this town
A
And disappear without a trace.
F＃m7
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.
E
I wish that I could hold you
A
One more time to ease the pain,
F＃m7
But my time's run out and I got to go,
Got to run away again.
C＃m
Still I catch myself thinking,
F＃7
One day I'll find my way back here.
B
You'll save me from drowning,
A
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?
A
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
