[Verse]  
[Em]                               [A]  
  There's a little girl out lyin' on her own  
[F#m]                  [Bm]  
  She's got a broken heart  
[Em]                              [A]  
  She's not the kind to take you down for long  
[F#m]                      [Bm]  
  She knows and plays it smart  

[Em]               [A]       [F#m]            [Bm]  
(Ah) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark  
[Em]               [A]             [F#m]        [Bm]  
  She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark  
[Em]               [A]              [F#m]         [Bm]  
  She feels like leavin' and she don't know why  
[Em]                                [A]  
  Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh  

[D]                 [G]            [D]              [G]  
  Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide  
[D]             [G]            [D]            [G]  
  Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side  
         [A]  
All your life  
         [G]  [C]    [G]  
You were on your own  

[Bridge]  
[G] [Em] [F#m]  [Bm]  

[Bm]                  [G]       [D]  
If you want you can ride my train  
    [F#m]                                [D]  
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving  
[G]        [Em7]      [A]        [D]  
Lose yourself and then sometime  
[D]          [D7]                 [G]  
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'  

[Em7] [A]   [F#m7] [Bm] [Em7] [A7] [D]  
Oh, oh, oh,  oh  

[Chorus]  
[D]                 [G]            [D]              [G]  
  Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide  
[D]             [G]            [D]            [G]  
  Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side  
[D]                 [G]            [D]              [G]  
  Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide  
[D]             [G]            [D]            [G]  
  Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side  
[D]                 [G]            [D]              [G]  
  Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide  
[D]                 [G]            [D]              [G]  
  Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide  
[D]                 [G]            [D]              [G]  
  Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
