Am       C
Tried to keep
    F        C
you close to me,
    F          C         G
But life.. got in between
Am        C
Tried to square
     F     C
not being there
    F          C
But think that I
                G
should have been

[Chorus]
F
Hold back the river,
       F
let me look in your eyes
F
Hold back the river, so I..
    C
Can stop for a minute and
C
see where you hide
C
Hold back the river, hold back

[Intro] Am C

Am    C
Once upon
  F         C
a different life
   F        C
We rode our bikes
            G
into the sky
    Am     C
But now we crawl
 F          C
against the tide
      F
Those distant
C                 G
days are flashing by

[Chorus]

Hold back the river,
       F
let me look in your eyes
F
Hold back the river, so I..

Can stop for a minute and
C
be by your side
C                    G
Hold back the river, hold back

F
Hold back the river,
       F
let me look in your eyes
F
Hold back the river, so I..
    C
Can stop for a minute and
C
see where you hide
C                    G
Hold back the river, hold back

 Am   C    F    C
Wo.. oo.. oo.. oo..
 F    C          G
Oo.. oo.. woo oo..

lonely water won't you

Let us hold each other

Can stop for a minute and
C
see where you hide

Hold back the river, oh..
