Mew – Cross The River On Your Own (Guitar)

  G                                       C
I know a way to kill the ripple from your touch

    G                             C
And what if I can only settle for much?

   D          Em7
It stays with you

       D      G      C
You’re like a sky so drizzly

D Em7 D G C       
  ‘Till I take it out on you

Bm7      Bm    C
Show me how to keep you in

G
You be good to me

       D       C
And I, I’ll be good to you

                     D
Don’t let go of your light

          Bm
It’s your best friend in the world

  C                      A7
I hope you’ll learn what Heaven knows

    C
Who cares if I go?

  G                                      C
I know a way to tell the middle from the start

    G                                       C
And what if telling makes the brittle fall apart?

   D      Em7       D          G        C
In time although my hair turns grey and grizzly

     D
Stay with me

G
So we cursed a lot

         D         C
And I’m ashamed of walking out

                 D           Bm
Oh it’s just too bad, we got stuck in the past

      C               A7
We’re hiding there in silence now

   C
It sounds familiar

G
You be good to me

       D       C
And I, I’ll be good to you

           D
I’m off to work

Bm                  C
But I don’t see you turn

Cross the river on your own

       Gm7
On the other side

             Gm
You wanna go far away

       Gmaj7
On the other side

G
You be good to me

       D       C
And I, I’ll be good to you

                     D
Don’t let go of your light

It’s your best friend in the world

So we cursed a lot

         D         C
And I’m ashamed of walking out

                    D              Bm
And my thoughts are wrought with a shortsighted secret

    C
And missing you

A7                    C
Why do you cry, Paddy?

G
Long as I’ve been alive

     D        C
I’ve still no plan

           D
I’m off to work

Bm                  C
But I don’t see you turn

A7
My life was OK

      C
I was counting my steps
