Dm／Dm／G7／G7／Csus4／C／B♭／B♭／B♭／B♭
F
It's three miles to the river
B♭
That would carry me away,
Gm7
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.
F
It's four miles to my lonely room
B♭
Where I will hide my face,
Gm7
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.
Dm
Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
G7
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
C
All I know is, since you've been gone
B♭
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.
F
In three more days, I'll leave this town
B♭
And disappear without a trace.
Gm7
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.
F
I wish that I could hold you
B♭
One more time to ease the pain,
Gm7
But my time's run out and I got to go,
Got to run away again.
Dm
Still I catch myself thinking,
G7
One day I'll find my way back here.
C
You'll save me from drowning,
B♭
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?
B♭
Drowning in a river,
Dr owning in a river of tears.
