  			C                        Am 
     Look around me - I can see my life before me 
               F               G           C   Dm   C 
     Running rings around the way it used to be 
           C                  Am 
     I am older now - I have more than what I wanted 
             F               G             F     C   Dm   C 
     But I wish that I had started long before I did 
                  F        G               C              Am 
     And there's so much time to make up everywhere you turn 
     F              G           Em   C7 
     Time we have wasted on the way 
     F         G            C              Am 
     So much water moving underneath the bridge 
               F              G      F   C 
     Let the water come and carry us away 
     C                                 Am 
     Oh, when you were young, did you question all the answers 
               F             G             F       C 
     Did you envy all the dancers who had all the nerve 
             C                      Am 
     Look around you now - you must go for what you wanted 
              F                  G                 F      C 
     Look at all my friends who did and got what they deserved 
                  F        G               C              Am 
     And there's so much time to make up everywhere you turn 
     F             G            Em   C7 
     Time we have wasted on the way 
     F        G             C              Am 
     So much water moving underneath the bridge 
              F              G       F   C 
     Let the water come and carry us away 
      F       G               C              Am 
     So much love to make up everywhere you turn 
     F            G             Em   C7 
     Love we have wasted on the way 
     F       G            C                 Am 
     So much water moving underneath the bridge 
               F              G      F   C 
     Let the water come and carry us away 
     C         F              G        F        C 
     Let the water come and carry us away------
