[Verse 1]

C
I will wait by the river

C
In the light of the moon

C
At the edge of the city

C
I will wait for you

F
Though I can't wait forever

F
Someday I'll be dead and gone

F
And I won't be forgiven

F                   C
For what I've done

[Hook]

C
I will wait by the river

C
I will wait by the river

C
I will wait by the river

C
I will wait by the river

[Verse 2]

C
I will cry out to heaven

C
As it rains down on me

C
I will beg for forgiveness

C
Get down on my knees

F
If I can't change the weather

F
Maybe I can change your mind

F
If we can't be together

F                         C
What's the point of life

[Bridge]

C
Baby, I didn't mean the things I said

C
I don't honestly wish you were dead

C
I'm a fool; I'm just a man

C
If I only could hold you again

[Verse 3]

F
And the stars fill the river

F
As it flows into the sky

F
And the mind leaves the body

F
And floats higher and higher

F
If we can't be together

F
I will leave this world behind

F
If I can't touch your body

F                      C
Can I touch the sky?

[Hook]

C
I will wait by the river

C
I will wait by the river

C
I will wait by the river

C
I will wait by the river
