Seven hours, seven days or seven years? All I know is since you've been gone, feel like I'm drowning in a river Drowning in a river of tears Drowning in a river Feel like I'm drowning, drowning in a river In three more days, I leave this town, and disappear without a trace, a year from now maybe settle down, where no one knows my face, I wish that I could hold you one more time to ease the pain, But my times run out and I got to go, got to run away again Still I catch myself thinking one day I'll find my way back here And you'll save me from drowning, Drowning in a river, drowning in a river of tears Drowning in a river, Feels like I'm drowning, Drowning in a river Lord how long must this go on? Drowning in a river, drowning in a river of tears. / = Slide up \ = Slide down h = hammer on p = pull off ~ = Vibrato
