Verse 1: Mainly just played with the riff in the background
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: Single strokes
[F]Hold back the river let me look in your eyes
[F]Hold back the river so I
[Bb]Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
[F]Hold back the river, hold back
Verse 2:
[F]Once upon a di[Bb]fferent life
We rod[F]e our bikes into the [C]sky
No[F]w we call aga[Bb]inst the tide
Those d[F]istant days are flashing[C] by
Chorus:
[Bb]Hold back the river let me look in your eyes
[Bb]Hold back the river [F]so I
[Bb]Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
[Bb]Hold back the river,[C] hold back
Refrain:
[F]Hold o[F]ho, o[Bb]ho, o[F]ho, o[Bb]ho, o[F]ho, o[C]ho
[F]Lonely water, [F]lonely water won't you [Bb]let us wander, [Bb]let us hold each other
[F]Lonely water, [F]lonely water won't you [Bb]let us wander, [Bb]let us hold each other
