INTRO: C Em F G C Em F G C
                Em       F                     C
Friends I could count on, I could count on one hand

                F          G   F G C
With a leftover finger or two

               Em      F                  C    F
I took 'em for granted, let 'em all slip away

               G             C     F
Now where they are, I wish I knew
CHORUS:
G         C  Em          Am      C  F
They roll by___ just like water

      G              C      F 
And I guess we never learn

G          C   Em               Am
Go through life___, parched and empty

         C              F      G
Standing knee deep in a river

             C      Em  F  G  C
And dying of thirst

          Em         F                 C
Sometimes I remember, sweethearts I've known

             F           G    F G C
Some I've forgotten I suppose

                      Em     F                 C    F
One or two will still linger, oh, and I wonder now

      G             C   F
Why I ever let them go
CHORUS:
G         C  Em          Am      C  F
They roll by___ just like water

      G              C      F 
And I guess we never learn

G          C   Em               Am
Go through life___, parched and empty

         C              F      G
Standing knee deep in a river

             C      
And dying of thirst

So, the sidewalk is crowded, the city goes by

           F#              G#   F# G# C#
And I rush through another day

                    Fm        F#                  C#   F#
And a world full of strangers, turn their eyes to me

           G#             C#   F#
But I just look the other way
CHORUS:
G#        C# Fm           A#m    C#  F#
They roll by___ just like water
