[Verse]
Dm                               G
  There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
Em                  Am
  She's got a broken heart
Dm                              G
  She's not the kind to take you down for long
Em                      Am
  She knows and plays it smart
 
 Dm               G       Em            Am
(Ah) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
Dm               G             Em        Am
  She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
Dm               G              Em         Am
  She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
Dm                                G
  Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh
 
C                 F            C              F
  Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
C             F            C            F
  Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
         G
All your life 
         F  A#   F
You were on your own
 
 
[Bridge]
F Dm Em  Am
 
Am                  F       C
If you want you can ride my train
    Em                                C
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
F        Dm7      G        C
Lose yourself and then sometime
C          C7                 F
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
 
Dm7 G   Em7 Am Dm7 G7 C
Oh, oh, oh,  oh
 
 
{ CHORUS }
C                 F            C              F
  Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
C             F            C            F
  Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
C                 F            C              F
  Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
C             F            C            F
  Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
C                 F            C              F
  Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
C                 F            C              F
  Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
C                 F            C              F
  Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
