Verse 1:
E
Just in a simple conversation
You can hear the feeling change
      A               E      A
Down      down to the sea
E
And if you need an explanation
I defy you to explain
But something's not the same
A                  E
And it's bothering me

E         A                    E
I think I see where   I   went wrong
          A                E     B7
I think I see what's going on
E             A          E
Meanwhile and far away
             A
As the night draws in
                 B7
He's holding her right now
      A
I can feel it all begin

Chorus:
E
Meanwhile and far away
                 A
When the day is done
       B7
I ride away with my friend
A                  B7
Into the setting s-u-n
        E
And the rivers running down
Down to the sea

Intrumental:

Verse 2:
E
I let love slip right through my fingers
And I watched it drift away
But still I had to say
A                    E
What was written for me

E
I thought I'd end up as the hero
                           A      E
Thought the glory would be mine
                          A
Very soon I was to find
             E
It wasn't to be
              A                    E
'Cos in this part  I've   got   to play
           A                            E      B7
It doesn't quite   turn   out   that    way

Chorus:
E             A          E
Meanwhile and far away
             A
As the night draws in
                 B7
He's holding her right now
      A
I can feel it all begin
      E
I can feel it all begin
E
Meanwhile and far away
                A
When the day is done
       B7
I ride away with my friend
A                       B7
Into the setting sun

Outro:
E
And the rivers running down
Down to the sea
A  E  A  E
A  E  A  E
