Intro:

G D C G D C

Verse 1:

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

Verse 2:

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

Verse 3:

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

Verse 4:

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

Verse 5:

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