Verse:
Eadd2
Just in a simple conversation
        F#7add11
You can hear the feeling change
       Aadd2             F#7add11
Like a river running down
            E  Esus4
Down to the sea (E/Esus4 is a bluesy riff for a 4 count)
           Eadd2
And if you need an explanation
  F#7add11
I defy you to explain
    Aadd2                    F#7add11
But something's not the same
                   E
And it's bothering me

Bridge:
          A                E
I think I see where I went wrong
          A                E    B
I think I see what's going on

Chorus:
E             A
Meanwhile and far away
E                   F#m7
 As the night draws in
F#m7             A
He's holding her right now
A                    E
I can feel it all begin
E             A
Meanwhile and far away
E                F#m7
 When the day is done
F#m7
I ride away my friend
  A                  B
Into the setting sun
        Em7               F#m7
And the rivers running down
            E
Down to the sea

Verse:
Eadd2
I let love slip right through my fingers
      F#7add11
And I watched it drift away
    Aadd2               F#7add11
But still I had to say
                     E Esus4
What was written for me (bluesy riff E Esus4)
Eadd2
I thought I'd end up as the hero
            F#7add11
Thought the glory would be mine
     Aadd2
Very soon I was to find
   F#7add11      E
It wasn't to be

Bridge:
             A                E
'Cos in this part I've got to play
           A                   E    B
It doesn't quite turn out that way

Chorus:
E                A
Meanwhile and far away
E                   F#m7
 As the night draws in
F#m7             A
He's holding her right now
A                   E
I can feel it all begin
E             A
Meanwhile and far away
E                F#m7
 When the day is done
F#m7
I ride away my friend
  A                  B
Into the setting sun
        Em7               F#m7
And the rivers running down
            E
Down to the sea
