A                       C#m7   Bm7
That token drag on your cigarette
 A                          C#m7 Bm7
That well-known face in the fire
A                        C#m7    Bm7
It could be someone you can't forget
 A                          C#m7  Bm7
Someone you've learnt to admire

Chorus:
         A                C#m7    Bm7
And it's strange how the feeling goes;
    A                       C#m7      Bm7
All change – down the river Ophelia goes

Verse 2:

You're treading water, the price is steep
 A                          C#m7  Bm7
You say you'll cope with it all;
 A                         C#m7      Bm7
You've made some promises you can't keep
 A                             C#m7  Bm7
You throw yourself against the wall
 A                             C#m7 Bm7
You throw yourself against the wall
 A                             C#m7 Bm7
You throw yourself against the wall

Chorus:
         A                C#m7    Bm7

     A                       C#m7    Bm7
All change – down the river Ophelia goes

Verse 3:
A                        C#m7  Bm7
You heard a noise in the firegrate
A                        C#m7 Bm7
You look to see who goes there –
A                             C#m7    Bm7
It's just the stranger, he's come too late
 A                 C#m7 Bm7
And even he's unprepared
A                       C#m7 Bm7
To find the cupboard so bare

Chorus:
        A                C#m7     Bm7
It's so strange when the feeling goes;
      A                     C#m7    Bm7
All change – down the river Ophelia goes

        A                C#m7     Bm7
It's so strange when the feeling goes;
     A                      C#m7     Bm7
All change – down the river Ophelia goes

        A              C#m7     Bm7
It's so straaaaaange – down the river - sudden stop:
