The River Chords

[Verse 1]
D/F#                       D/E            D/A
I'm walking down the empty streets we used to know
D               D/A              Bm
With all those teenage dreams of conquering the world
D/F#                           G
In between the boats along the quay
D                              Bm
Same old river staring back at me
D/F#                              D/A
She's watching everybody come and go
D       D/G           G
Carried here then washed away given to the flow
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    D                    A
But every time I go back there
                        G
I feel I'm winding up nowhere
D                        A
Why keep asking it to deliver
                                   G
When those days are way down the river
 
[Chorus]
D                              A
It's gotta be time that I move on
                                 G
The good old days they are long gone
        D                    G
Let it carry me into the future
A
Out of the background
A
Into the foreground
A                    D
Giving it all to the river
 
[Verse 2]
D                           G                D
So meet me somewhere new on some bright afternoon
                                 Bm
When you have shed the skin that holds me back from you
G                               Bm
Oh everything you want was long ago
                            G
Carried off and washed away given to the flow
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A    D                    A
And every time I go back there
                        G
I feel I'm winding up nowhere
D                        A
Why keep asking it to deliver
                                   G
When those days are way down the river
 
[Chorus]
D                              A
It's gotta be time that I move on
                                 G
The good old days they are long gone
        D                    G
Let it carry me into the future
A
Out of the background
A
Into the foreground
A                    D
Giving it all to the river
 
[Bridge]
D
The river rolls on rolls on
Bm
Forever rolls on rolls on
D
The river rolls on rolls on
Bm
Forever rolls on rolls on
 
[Chorus]
D                              A
It's gotta be time that I move on
                                 G
The good old days they are long gone
        D                    G
Let it carry me into the future
A
Out of the background
A
Into the foreground
A                    D
Giving it all to the river
 
[Outro]
D
The river rolls on rolls on
Bm
Forever rolls on rolls on
D
The river rolls on rolls on
Bm
Forever rolls on rolls on
