Verse 1:

G+G     D MajorD        G+G
There's a river between us now
        C majorC          G+G
Some state line borders, some broken towns
       C majorC            G+G
Some singing sailors doing what they please
            D MajorD       C majorC
Now I'm down to selling prayers on my knees

Verse 2:

       G+G       D MajorD
I loved your eyes, your innocence
        C majorC           G+G D MajorD
In the face of bad times and where it wents
                C majorC
There's no wind on this bitter earth
     G+G        D MajorD           C majorC
Time and distance claim my blues for what they're worth

Verse 3:

  G+G             D MajorD
I'd call your name when I grew scared
        C majorC        G+G
I'd write your home if you were there
    C majorC        G+G
I am so broken by losing you
          D MajorD     C majorC
Only life can heal and see me through

Verse 4:

     G+G      D MajorD
When it rains I'm all alone
       C majorC        G+G
Confused by lonely, headed for home
       C majorC           G+G
Some singing sailors doing what they please
            D MajorD       C majorC
Now I'm down to selling prayers on my knees

Now I'm down to selling prayers on my knees
