Dm G
There's a little girl out lying on her own
Em7 Am
She's got a broken heart
Dm G
She's not the kind to take you down for long
Em7 Am
She knows and plays it smart
Dm G
And if she's comin
Em Am
She's showed no mark
Dm G
She's heard no whistle blowing
Em7 Am
From the dark
Dm G
She feel's like leaving and she
Em7 Am
Don't know why
Dm G7
Without no bridges She's trapped
So I sigh
(Chorus)
C F C F
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
C F C F
Don't try denying living on the other side
G
all your life....
F Bb F
You were on your own
(Bridge)
Am F C
And If you want you can ride my Train
E C
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
F Dm7 G7 C
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
C7 F
Maybe even save yourself some grieving
Dm7 G Em Am Dm7 G7 C
Oh ____________Oh______________Oh___________Oh_______________
