F Am Bb C F
I Heard some news this morning that the river is on the rise
Am Bb C F
If you don't know how to swim you better know how to fly
F Am Bb C F
But I didn't listen got a mind of my own
Am
So I crawled out on the edge of the limb
Bb C F
And waited for the ragin storm
F Am Bb C F
Rain oh rain stop falling down on me
Am Gm C
I'm losing my grip and I'm starting to slip away
Bb C F C Dm C
Rain oh rain please stop falling down
Bb C
I can't swim and I can't fly
Bb C F Bb C
I'm afraid that I might drown
F Am Bb C F
Saw a man in the mirror that I've never seen before
F Am Gm C
Looked and talked an awful lot like me
F Am
Said I tried to warn you
Bb Bbm
But you never heard a word I said
F Am Gm
And now you're gonna have a price to pay
C F
Your starting to fade away
F Am Bb C F
Rain oh rain stop falling down on me
Am Gm C
I'm losing my grip and I'm starting to slip away
Bb C F C Dm C
Rain oh rain please stop falling down
Bb C
I can't swim and I can't fly
Bb C F Ab Bb
I'm afraid that I might drown
Cm Ab
Sometimes it's hard for a man to realize
Cm Ab
That everything that you tried to do
Don't always turn out right
Eb Gm Ab
Feeling kind of weak and mighty cold
Eb Gm Ab
Feels like I've been bought and I've been sold
Eb Gm Ab Bb
Storm is raging deep inside my soul feeling alone
Eb Gm Ab Bb Eb
I Heard some news this morning that the river is on the rise
Gm Ab Bb Eb
If you don't know how to swim you better know how to fly
Eb Gm Ab Bb Eb
But I didn't listen got a mind of my own
Gm
So I crawled out on the edge of the limb
Ab Bb Eb
And waited for the ragin storm
Eb Gm Ab Bb Eb
Rain oh rain stop falling down on me
Gm Fm Bb
I'm losing my grip and I'm starting to slip away
Ab Bb Eb Bb Cm Bb
Rain oh rain please stop falling down
Ab Bb
I can't swim and I can't fly
Ab Bb Eb
I'm afraid that I might drown
