C                              F
  It's three miles to the river that would carry me away,

Dm                                 Gsus4     G
  And two miles to the dusty street   that I saw you on today,

C                                   F                               C/E
  It's four miles to my lonely room   where I'm gonna hide my face,

Dm                                         Gsus4     G
  And about half a mile to the downtown bar   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
Feel like I'm drowning in a river

                      | C | C Bb |
Drowning in a river of tears

F                           C/E
   I'm drowning in a river

Dm                        Gsus4          G
   Feel like I'm drowning, drowning in a river
[Instrumental] | C | C Bb | F | F C/E | Dm | Dm C | Bb | Gsus4 G7 | C [Verse 2]
C                                       F                              C/E
  In three more days, I leave this town, in disappear without a trace,

Dm                                  Gsus4  G
  A year from now maybe settle down,   somewhere where no one knows my face

C       Bb/G              C        F                                 C/E
  And I wish that I could hold you   one more time to ease the pain,

Dm                                     Gsus4          G
  But my times run out and I got to go,   got to run away again

Am
  Still I catch myself thinking

D7
  One day I'll find my way back here

G
  And you'll save me from drowning,

F
Drowning in a river

F                     | C | C Bb |
Drowning in a river of tears

F                          C/E
  Feels like I'm drowning

Dm                    Gsus4              G
    Oh, feel like I'm drowning, Lord how long must it go on?
