CIt's three miles to the river Fthat would carry me away,
Dm7And two miles to the
dusty street Gthat I saw you on today,
CIt's four miles to my lonely
room Fwhere I'm gonna hide my face,
Dm7And about half a mile to the
downtown bar Gthat I ran from in disgrace
AmLord how long have I got to keep on running?
D9Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
GAll I know is since you've been gone,
FFeel like I'm drowning in a river
Drowning in a river of Ctears
Drowning Fin a river
Dm7Feel like I'm drowning, drowning in a Griver
C F Dm7 Gsus4 G
CIn three more days, I leave this
town, Fin disappear without a trace,
Dm7A year from now maybe settle
down, Gwhere no one knows my face,
CI wish that I could hold you F
Dm7But my times run out and I got
to go, Ggot to run away again
AmStill I catch myself thinking
D9One day I'll find my way back here
GAnd you'll save me from drowning,
FDrowning in a river
FDrowning in a river of Ctears
Drowning in a Friver
Feel like I'm Dm7drowning, drowning in a Gsus4river
GLord how long must it go on?
G F Dm7 Gsus4 G
C F Dm7 Gsus4 G
Am D9 G
FDrowning in a river
Drowning in a river of Ctears
