INTRO: C majorC E minorEm FF G+G C majorC E minorEm FF G+G C majorC
E minorEm FF C majorC
Friends I could count on, I could count on one hand
FF G+G FF G+G C majorC
With a leftover finger or two
E minorEm FF C majorC FF
I took 'em for granted, let 'em all slip away
G+G C majorC FF
Now where they are, I wish I knew
CHORUS:
G+G C majorC E minorEm A minorAm C majorC FF
They roll by___ just like water
G+G C majorC FF
And I guess we never learn
G+G C majorC E minorEm A minorAm
Go through life___, parched and empty
C majorC FF G+G
Standing knee deep in a river
C majorC E minorEm FF G+G C majorC
And dying of thirst
E minorEm FF C majorC
Sometimes I remember, sweethearts I've known
FF G+G FF G+G C majorC
Some I've forgotten I suppose
E minorEm FF C majorC FF
One or two will still linger, oh, and I wonder now
G+G C majorC FF
Why I ever let them go
CHORUS:
G+G C majorC E minorEm A minorAm C majorC FF
They roll by___ just like water
G+G C majorC FF
And I guess we never learn
G+G C majorC E minorEm A minorAm
Go through life___, parched and empty
C majorC FF G+G
Standing knee deep in a river
C majorC
And dying of thirst

And a world full of strangers, turn their eyes to me

But I just look the other way
