CAPO on 5th Fret
Verse I:
Tried to keep you close to me,
But life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But think that I should have been
Chorus:
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Verse II:
Once u----pon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we crawl against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by
Chorus:
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Ooh
Bridge:
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander
*single strum
Let us hold each other
Chorus:
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Outro:
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander
*single strum
Let us hold each other
