[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am
I could've sworn this was the way
Tell me again, why do we stay
G Am
On such a lonely, lonely, lonely road?
You'd never guess, I'd never know
We're on the same side and it's going to
G D
Be a lonely, lonely, lonely road
[Chorus]
C F Am
If I follow you to the river
G
Send my blues out to the sea
Dm7
Will you stay with me forever?
Am F
Will you chase me in my dreams?
C F Am
If I throw it all in the river
G
And let the rhythm take the lead
Dm7
Will it stay with you whenever
F
That you leave on me?
[Post-Chorus]
F G Am
Ooh, I know, I know
F G Am
Ooh, I kno-ow
[Verse 2]
Am
You had a choice I couldn't make
And this is the last turn that you take
G Am
On a lonely, lonely, lonely road
Give me your hand, here is my heart
Where does it end? When do we start?
G D
On a lonely, lonely, lonely road
[Chorus]
C F Am
If I follow you to the river
G
Send my blues out to the sea
Dm7
Will you stay with me forever?
Am F
Will you chase me in my dreams?
C F Am
If I throw it all in the river
G
And let the rhythm take the lead
Dm
Will it stay with you whenever
F
That you leave on me?
[Post-Chorus]
F G Am
Ooh, I know, I know
F G Am
Ooh, I kno-ow
[Bridge]
F G Asus2
I'm an echo in your shadow
F
And your shadows, I'm in too deep
G Am
In the river, your reflection
F
Is a promise you couldn't keep
G
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Am
I lost you here
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
F
I took you here
G
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Am
I lost you here
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
F
This is fair
[Break]
G Am
Oo-oh a-ah
G Am
Ooh a-ah~hh
F G Am
Ooh a-ah, a-ah
F G Am
Ooh a-ah~hh
[Outro]
F Am G Dm C F
If I follow you to the river
C F Am G
If I follow you to the river
(If I follow you to the river)
Dm F
And your shadows, they run so deep
F Am
Oh I would take you there
(If I follow you to the river)
G
And your shadows, in the river, your reflection
Dm7 Am F
Is a promise you couldn't keep
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
C F Am
If I, (if I), whoah
(follow you to the river)
Dm7 F
If I follow you there
In the river, your reflection
Am G
Is a promise you couldn't keep
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I lost you here
(Oh, if I follow you to the river)
F C
And your shadow
F Am
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
G
I lost you here
I know, I know, I know
Dm7 F
I love you now
I could've sworn this was the way
Tell me again, why do we stay
On such a lonely, lonely, lonely road?
You'd never guess, I'd never know
We're on the same side and it's going to
Be a lonely, lonely, lonely road
If I follow you to the river
Send my blues out to the sea
Will you stay with me forever?
Will you chase me in my dreams?
If I throw it all in the river
And let the rhythm take the lead
Will it stay with you whenever
That you leave on me?
Ooh, I know, I know
Ooh, I know
You had a choice I couldn't make
And this is the last turn that you take
On a lonely, lonely, lonely road
Give me your hand, here is my heart
Where does it end? When do we start?
On a lonely, lonely, lonely road
If I follow you to the river
Send my blues out to the sea
Will you stay with me forever?
Will you chase me in my dreams?
If I throw it all in the river
And let the rhythm take the lead
Will it stay with you whenever
That you leave on me?
Ooh, I know, I know
Ooh, I know
I'm an echo in your shadow
And your shadows, I'm in too deep
In the river, your reflection
Is a promise you couldn't keep
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I lost you here
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I took you here
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I lost you here
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
This is fair
Ooh
Ooh-ah
Ooh-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ah
If I follow you to the river
If I follow you to the river
(If I follow you to the river)
And your shadows, they run so deep
If I follow you to the river
In the river, your reflection
Is a promise you couldn't keep
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I lost you here
If I follow you to the river (Oh)
If I follow you to the river
(Oh, if I follow you to the river)
In the river, your reflection
Is a promise you couldn't keep
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I lost you here
(Oh, if I follow you to the river)
And your shadow
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I lost you here
I know, I know, I know
I love you now
