verse 1 
C                            Am 
rolling down the river in a red canoe 
F 
no turning back boys 
G                    G7             C 
now you know we gotta make it through 

C                        Am 
Just around the corner another snag 

F          G                 C 
Oh man I hate this it’s such a drag 
 
Dm                     C  
  and we just keep on living 
Am               F  G 
    like we got no time 
Dm              C  
  we both got our reasons 
  C             G              C 
 Girl you got yours and I got mine 

verse 2 
C                           Am 
On through until night time and you're out to sea 
F 
The stars shine brightly 
G         G7                                C 
But the waves have grown higher than you and me 
F            G                        C 
But still (ain't) no where I'd rather be 

Dm              C  
  and we just keep on living 
Am               F  G 
    like we got no time 
Dm            C  
  we both got our reasons 
  C             G              C 
 Girl you got yours and I got mine 

verse 3 
C                              Am 
and then you're leaving and I know it's for sure 
F             G          G7                  C 
   nothing to say girl, walking through the door 
C                  Am 
  who knows where our paths they may lead 
F        G 
and if you'll still remember me 

Dm                     C  
  and we just keep on living 
Am              F  G 
    like we got no time 
Dm            C  
  we both got our reasons 
  C             G            C 
 Girl you got yours and I got mine 

verse 4 
C                           Am 
rolling down the river in a red canoe 
F 
There is no one here 
G            G7                C 
I am just paddling and I’m all alone 
F             G              C 
I don’t know who or what to do 

Dm              C  
  and we just keep on living 
Am               F  G 
    like we got no time 
Dm            C  
  we both got our reasons 
  C             G               C 
 Girl you got yours and I got mine
