C F Dm G Am Dm G F C F It's three miles to the river that would carry me away, Dm G and two miles to the dusty street that I saw you on today, C F It's four miles to my lonely room where I'm gonna hide my face, Dm G and about half a mile to the downtown bar that I ran from in disgrace Am Lord how long have I got to keep on running? Dm Seven hours, seven days or seven years? G F All I know is since you've been gone, feel like I'm drowning in a river C Drowning in a river of tears F Drowning in a river Dm G C Feel like I'm drowning, drowning in a river of tears C F In three more days, I leave this town, in disappear without a trace, Dm G a year from now maybe settle down, where no one knows my face, C F I wish that I could hold you one more time to ease the pain, Dm G But my times run out and I got to go, got to run away again Am Still I catch myself thinking Dm one day I'll find my way back here G F And you'll save me from drowning, C Drowning in a river of tears F Drowning in a river Dm G C Feel like I'm drowning, drowning in a river of tears
