Verse 1
[C] It's three miles to the river [F] that would carry me away,
[Dm7] And two miles to the dusty street [G] that I saw you on today,
[C] It's four miles to my lonely room [F] where I'm gonna hide my face,
[Dm7] And about half a mile to the downtown bar [G] that I ran from in disgrace
[Am] Lord how long have I got to keep on running?
[D9] Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
[G] All I know is since you've been gone,
[F] Feel like I'm drowning in a river
Drowning in a river of [C] tears
Drowning [F] in a river
[Dm7] Feel like I'm drowning, drowning in a [G] river

Verse 2
[C] In three more days, I leave this town, [F] in disappear without a trace,
[Dm7] A year from now maybe settle down, [G] where no one knows my face,
[C] I wish that I could hold you [F] one more time to ease the pain,
[Dm7] But my times run out and I got to go, [G] got to run away again
[Am] Still I catch myself thinking
[D9] One day I'll find my way back here
[G] And you'll save me from drowning,
[F] Drowning in a river
[F] Drowning in a river of [C] tears
Drowning in a [F] river

[G] Lord how long must it go on?
