C
It's three miles to the river
F
That would carry me away,
Dm
And two miles to the dusty street
G7
That I saw you on today.
C
It's four miles to my lonely room
F
Where I will hide my face,
Dm
And about half a mile to the downtown
bar
G7
That I ran from in disgrace.
Am
Lord, how long have I got to keep
on running,
D7
Seven hours, seven days or seven
years?
G
All I know is, since you've been
gone
F
I feel like I'm drowning in a river,
F
Drowning in a river of tears.
C
F
Drowning in a river.
Dm
Feel like I'm drowning,
G7
Drowning in a river.

C
In three more days, I'll leave
this town
F
And disappear without a trace.
Dm
A year from now, maybe settle down
G7
Where no one knows my face.
C
I wish that I could hold you
F
One more time to ease the pain,
Dm
But my time's run out and I got
to go,
G7
Got to run away again.
Am
Still I catch myself thinking,
D7
One day I'll find my way back here.
G
You'll save me from drowning,
F
Drowning in a river,
F
Drowning in a river of tears.
C
F
Drowning in a river.
Dm
Feels like I'm drowning,
G7
Drowning in the river.
C
Lord, how long must this go on?
F Dm G7
Am D7 G
F
Drowning in a river,
F C
Drowning in a river of tears.
