A E A F#m E A 

 
A 
Theres a river of sorrow, a river of pain 
                        E 
A wade in the water, to swim again 
           A 
Deeper and deeper, I cant turn around 
                 F#m    E              A 
Cause I love this river, and I'm gonna drown 
 

 
A               D                      A 
I know you dont love me, you just love yourself 
               F#m    E           A 
No room in your heart, for anyone else 

I know theres a way, to reach higher ground 
               F#m    E             A 
But I love this river, and I'm gonna drown

Theres an ocean of lonilness, you're sailing across 
                                              E 
Searching for something, you think that you'd lost 
               A 
Stars are your compass, waves mark your trail 
             F#m    E                A 
You love this ocean, so you're gonna sail

I know you dont love me, you just love yourself 
               F#m    E           A 
No room in your heart, for anyone else 

I tried to save you, to no avail 
                   F#m    E                 A 
Cause you love this ocean, and you're gonna sail 
 

 
A               D                      A 
I know you dont love me, you just love yourself 
               F#m    E           A 
No room in your heart, for anyone else 

I know theres a way, to reach higher ground 
                F#m   E              A 
But I love this river, and I'm gonna drown
