[Verse 1]
         B5                  F# E5
And they came to the river

         B5                  F# E5
And they came from the road

       B5                  F# E5
And he wanted the sun

        B5                  F# E5
Just to call his own
[Verse 2]
         B5                  F# E5
And they walked on the dirt

         B5                  F# E5
And they walked from the road

          B5                  F# E5
'Til they came to the river

          B5                  F# E5
'Til they came up close
[Chorus]
           B5                  G5 F#5
Throw your pain in the river

           B5                  G5 F#5
Throw your pain in the river

           B5                  G5 F#5
Leave your pain in the river

      B5                  G5 F#5   N.C
To be washed away slow
[Verse 3]
       B5                  F# E5
And we walked without words

       B5                  F# E5
And we walked with our lives

    B5                  F# E5
Two silent birds circled by
[Chorus]
       B5                  G5 F#5
Like a pain in the river

        B5                  G5 F#5
And the pain in the river

        B5                  G5 F#5
And the white sun scattered

        B5                  G5 F#5
Washed away this slow

[Verse 4]
       B5                  F# E5
And we followed the river

       B5                  F# E5
And we followed the road

       B5                  F# E5
And we walked through this land

       B5                  F# E5
And we called it a home
[Verse 5]
       B5                 D5 G5
But he wanted the sun

      B5                 D5 G5
And I wanted the whole

        B5                 D5 G5
And the white light scatters

        B5                 D5 G5
And the sun sets low
[Chorus]
       B5                  G5 F#5
Like a pain in the river

        B5                  G5 F#5
And the pain in the river

       B5                  G5 F#5
Like a white light scatters

        B5                  G5 F#5
To be washed away slow

       B5                  G5 F#5
Like a pain in the river

       B5                  G5 F#5
Like a pain in the river

         B5                  G5 F#5
Like the way life scattered

      B5                  G5 F#5
To be washed away slow
