[Verse 1]
E
Just in a simple conversation
You can hear the feeling change
      A               E      A
Down      down to the sea

E
And if you need an explanation
I defy you to explain But something's not the same
A                  E
And it's bothering me

E         A                    E
I think I see where   I   went wrong

          A                E     B7
I think I see what's going on

E             A          E
Meanwhile and far away

             A
As the night draws in

                 B7
He's holding her right now

      A
I can feel it all begin
[Chorus]
E
Meanwhile and far away

                 A
When the day is done

       B7
I ride away with my friend

A                  B7
Into the setting s-u-n

        E
And the rivers running down
Down to the sea [Intrumental] | A | E | A | E | x2 | E | % | % | % | [Verse 2]
E
I let love slip right through my fingers
And I watched it drift away But still I had to say
A                    E
What was written for me

E
I thought I'd end up as the hero

                           A      E
Thought the glory would be mine

                          A
Very soon I was to find

             E
It wasn't to be

              A                    E
'Cos in this part  I've   got   to play

           A                            E      B7
It doesn't quite   turn   out   that    way
[Chorus]
E             A          E
Meanwhile and far away

             A
As the night draws in

                 B7
He's holding her right now

      A
I can feel it all begin

      E
I can feel it all begin

E
Meanwhile and far away

                A
When the day is done

       B7
I ride away with my friend

A                       B7
Into the setting sun
[Outro]
E
And the rivers running down
