Verse 1:
C#m Bm
We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour
C#m Bm
I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight
C#m Bm
You took something before you went in the shower
C#m Bm
To help suppress the things that make you feel uptight
Pre-Chorus:
E
If I'd known you couldn't swim
E
We would never have gone in
Chorus:
A E D
I left my love in the river
A E D
The only one who sees
A E D
I lost his hand in the current
E C#m Bm
It was the life I wanted and I'd hoped for
E C#m Bm
And now I am left sifting through the reeds
Verse 2:
C#m Bm
The sun so hot
I saw his skin through his t-shirt
C#m Bm
The grass so tall, we knew we wouldn't be found
C#m Bm
We climbed into the stream, sure no one would be heard
C#m Bm
And in no time at all, there wasn't a sound
Pre-Chorus:
E
If I'd known you couldn't swim
We would never have gone in
Chorus:
A E D
I left my love in the river
A E D
The only one who sees
A E D
I lost his hand in the current
E C#m Bm
It was the life I wanted and I'd hoped for
E C#m Bm
And now I am left sifting through the reeds

No color to his skin
