• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: Am

🎸 Intro:

Am



🎸 Verse 1:
Am
I could've sworn this was the way

Tell me again, why do we stay
          G                      Am
On such a lonely, lonely, lonely road?

You'd never guess
I'd never know

We're on the same side and it's going to
     G                      D
Be a lonely, lonely, lonely road

🎸 Chorus:
(C)  F                 Am
If I follow you to the river
        G
Send my blues out to the sea
         Dm7
Will you stay with me forever?
Am       F
Will you chase me in my dreams?
C    F                   Am
If I throw it all in the river
            G
And let the rhythm take the lead
        Dm7
Will it stay with you whenever
         F
That you leave on me?

🎸 Post-Chorus:
F      G       Am
Ooh
I know
I know
F      G   Am
Ooh
I kno-ow

🎸 Verse 2:
Am
You had a choice I couldn't make

And this is the last turn that you take
     G                      Am
On a lonely, lonely, lonely road

Give me your hand, here is my heart

Where does it end? When do we start?
     G                      D
On a lonely, lonely, lonely road

🎸 Chorus:
(C)  F                 Am
If I follow you to the river
        G
Send my blues out to the sea
         Dm7
Will you stay with me forever?
Am       F
Will you chase me in my dreams?
C    F                   Am
If I throw it all in the river
            G
And let the rhythm take the lead
        Dm
Will it stay with you whenever
         F
That you leave on me?

🎸 Post-Chorus:
F      G       Am
Ooh
I know
I know
F      G   Am
Ooh
I kno-ow

F          G              Asus2
I'm an echo in your shadow
                             F
And your shadows
I'm in too deep
            G                Am
In the river, your reflection
                          F
Is a promise you couldn't keep
                        G
