   C#m                                  Bm
We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour

  C#m                                    Bm
I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight

    C#m                                   Bm
You took something before you went in the shower

   C#m                                         Bm
To help suppress the things that make you feel uptight

         E                  E/B           E               E/B
If I had known you couldn't swim we would never have gone in

A          E           D
 I left my love in the river

A         E       D
 The only one who sees

A           E           D
 I lost his hand in the current

   E              C#m            Bm
It was the life I wanted and I'd hoped for

    E             C#m                 Bm
And now I am left sifting through the leaves

    C#m                                      Bm
His arms so hard, I saw his skin through his t-shirt

    C#m                                   Bm
The grass so tall, we knew we wouldn't be found

   C#m                                    Bm
We climbed into the stream so no one will be heard

    C#m                              Bm
And in no time at all there wasn't a sound

       E                  E/B           E               E/B
If I'd known you couldn't swim we would have never gone in

A          E           D
 I left my love in the river 

A         E       D
 The only one who sees

A           E           D
 I lost his hand in the current

   E              C#m            Bm
It was the life I wanted and I'd hoped for

    E             C#m                 Bm
And now I am left sifting through the leaves

No colour to his skin, inform the next of kin

   E             D
No colour to his skin

A          E           D
 I left my love in the river

A         E     D
 The only one I see

A           E           D
 I left his hand in the current

    E             C#m                 Bm
And now I am left blowing through the trees
