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
  E
Inform the next of kin
   E            D
No color to his skin

A         E           D
I left my love in the river

I left his hand in the current
    E             C#m                 Bm
And now I am left blowing through the trees
