D         G        C       G
We gotta get to a higher place,

        D     G        C2    
and we gotta leave by night.

   D         G     C        G
Before that river takes us down,

          D         G           C2
we gotta find somewhere that's dry.
[verse]
D         G              C     G
We gotta run like we've never run,

          D     G        C2
or we're gonna lose the light.

   D         G        C       G
If we don't get to a higher place and

 C        G            C        G
find somebody who can help somebody,

      C     G       Em  Asus2 | Em Asus2 |
Might be nobody no more. 
[verse]
         D      G          C          G
Well, I fool myself and I don't know why,

    D               G         C2 
I thought we could ride this out.

      D       G           C     G
I was up all night making up my mind,

     D     G       C2
But now I got my doubts.
[verse]
   D      G          C    G
I got my eye on the waterline,

           D       G        C2
trying to keep my sense of humor, 

       D         G        C       G
But if we don't get to a higher place and

 C        G            C        G
find somebody who can help somebody,

      C     G       Em  Asus2 | Em Asus2 |

I remember walking with her in town,

     D       G       C2  
her hair was in the wind.

   D    G   C       G
I gave her my best kiss,

     D       G     C2
She gave it back again. 
[verse]
           D     G             C      G
Yeah, when I add up what I've left behind,

   D             G       C
I don't want to lose no more.

       D         G        C       G
