  			Em                                A 
   There's a little girl out lyin' on her own 
F#m7                    Bm 
     She's got a broken heart 
Em                               A 
   She's not the kind to take you down for long 
F#m7                        Bm 
     She knows and plays it smart 

Em                  A      F#m7            Bm 
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark 
Em                    A              F#m7      Bm 
(Ah--) She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark 
Em                    A              F#m7        Bm 
(Ah--) She feels like leavin' and she don't know why 
Em                                     A7 
(Ah--) 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   Em  F#m7  Bm 
You were on your own 

Bm                  G       D 
If you want you can ride my train 
    F#                                 D 
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving 
       G                 Em7  A7  D 
You'll lose yourself and then sometime 
           D7                 G 
Maybe even save yourself some grievin' 

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

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 ...
