D
You can’t imagine all the times that I tried
Gmaj7
To uncover the source of the tears that you cried
D
“Lets throw it away and just go for a ride”
Gmaj7
And you’d say “ok” but you’d keep it inside
E (rif)
And I tried
G
I tried
E (rif)
I tried
G A
I tried

I never thought I could have it so good
Gmaj7
You were the song that my soul understood

That time is a river that flows through the woods

Before to long

Would be gone
G A
Before to long
D
When we were young we thought life was a game

It’s you

It’s you
