[Dm7]Tried to [F]keep you cl[Bb]ose to [F]me,
But [Bb]life got [F]in betwee[C]n
[Dm7]Tried to s[F]quare not [Bb]being th[F]ere
But t[Bb]hink that [F]I should have bee[C]n

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

[Dm7]Once up[F]on a d[Bb]ifferent l[F]ife
We r[Bb]ode our b[F]ikes into the sky[C] 
But [Dm7]now we cr[F]awl aga[Bb]inst the t[F]ide
Those [Bb]distant d[F]ays are flashing [C]by

[Bb]Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
[Bb]Hold back the river so I
[F]Can stop for a minute and be by your side
[F]Hold back the river, h[C]old back

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

[Dm7]Ooh o[F]ho, o[Bb]ho, o[F]ho, O[Bb]ho, o[F]ho, o[C]hooh

[F]Lonely water, lonely water won't you l[Bb]et us wander
[Gm]Let us hold each other
[F]Lonely water, lonely water won't you l[Bb]et us wander
[Gm]Let us hold each other

[Bb]Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
[Bb]Hold back the river so I
[F]Can stop for a minute and be by your side
[F]Hold back the river, h[C]old back

[Bb]Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
[Bb]Hold back the river so I
[F]Can stop for a minute and be by your side
[F]Hold back the river, o[C]oh

[F]Lonely water, lonely water won't you l[Bb]et us wander
[Gm]Let us hold each other
[F]Lonely water, lonely water won't you l[Bb]et us wander
[Gm]Let us hold each other
