	  		Intro:   C   Em   F   G   C   Em   F   G 
 
C               Em       F                      C 
Friends I could count on   I could count on one hand 
                F         G    F    G 
with a leftover finger or two 
C                Em      F                      C 
  I took 'em for granted   let 'em all slip a - way 
F                G            C    F 
  Now where they are I wish I knew 
 
G         C  Em           F     C 
They roll by    just like water 
F       G              C      F    G 
  and I guess we never learn 
           C    Em               F 
Go through life      parched and empty 
         C              F 
standin' knee deep in a river 
G               C      Em    F    G 
   and dyin' of thirst 
 
C                  Em     F                  C 
  Sometimes I re - member   sweethearts I've known 
                F              G    F    G 
Some I've for - gotten I sup - pose 
C                  Em     F                 C 
  One or two still linger   oh and I wonder now 
F       G             C    F 
  why I ever let them go 
           
G         C  Em           F     C 
They roll by    just like water 
F       G              C      F    G 
  and I guess we never learn 
           C    Em               F 
Go through life      parched and empty 
         C              F 
standin' knee deep in a river 
G               C      Em    F    G    C    Em    F  * here*  G 
   and dyin' of thirst 
 
C                    Em      F               C 
  So the sidewalk is crowded   the city goes by 
           F               G    F    G 
and I rush through another day 
C                     Em        F                    C 
  and a world full of strangers   turn their eyes to me 
F            G              C    F 
  but I just look the other way. 
           
G         C  Em           F     C 
They roll by    just like water 
F       G              C      F    G 
  and I guess we never learn 
           C    Em               F 
Go through life      parched and empty 
         C              F 
standin' knee deep in a river 
G               C      F 
   and dyin' of thirst 
           
G         C  Em           F     C 
They roll by    just like water 
F       G              C      F    G 
  and I guess we never learn 
           C    Em               F 
Go through life      parched and empty 
         C              F 
standin' knee deep in a river 
G               C      Em    F    G    C 
   and dyin' of thirst
