VERSE:
[Dm7] Tried to [F] keep you [Bb] close to [F] me,
But [Bb] life got [F] in [C] between
[Dm7] Tried to [F] square not [Bb] being [F] there
But [Bb] think that [F] I should have [C] been
CHORUS:
[Bb] Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
[Bb] Hold back the river so I
[F] Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
[F] Hold back the river, hold back
VERSE:
[Dm7] Once [F] upon a [Bb] different [F] life
We [Bb] rode our [F] bikes into the [C] sky
But [Dm7] now we [F] crawl [Bb] against the [F] tide
Those [Bb] distant [F] days are flashing [C] by
CHORUS:
[Bb] Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
[F] Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, [C] hold back
[Bb] Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
[F] Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, [C] hold back
[Dm7] Ooh [F] oho, [Bb] oho, [F] oho,
[Bb] Oho, [F] oho, [C] ohooh
BRIDGE:
[F] Lonely water, lonely water won't you [Bb] let us wander
[Gm] Let us hold each other
[F] Lonely water, lonely water won't you [Bb] let us wander
[Gm] Let us hold each other
CHORUS:
[Bb] Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
[F] Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, [C] hold back
[Bb] Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
[F] Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, [C] ooh
BRIDGE:FBbGm
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander
