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

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

[Db]Lord how long must it go on?
