[Verse] (Played as intro)
Am       C       F      C     
Tried to keep you close to me,

     F       C        G
but life got in between

Am         C       F      C 
Tried to square not being there

     F        C             G  
But think that I should have been
[Chorus] (Strummed)
F
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

F
Hold back the river, so I

C
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide

Hold back the river, hold back

Am      C    F      C   
Once upon a different life

     F      C              G  
We rode our bikes into the sky

Am       C       F      C
But now we call against the tide

       F      C               G   
Those distant days are flashing by
[Chorus]
F
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

F
Hold back the river, so I

C
Can stop for a minute and be by your side

C                       G
Hold back the river, hold back

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

F
Hold back the river, so I

C
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide

C                      G
Hold back the river, hold back
