[F]why I[G] ever let them[C] go[F],

[C#]So the sidewalk is[Fm] crowded[F#], the city goe[C#]s by,
and I rush [F#]through another [G#]day[-],[F#][-][G#]
[C#]and a world full of [Fm]strangers[F#], turn their eyes t[C#]o me,
[F#]but I just [G#]look the other [C#]way,[F#]


(chorus)

[G#]They roll [C#]by [Fm] just like [F#]water,[C#]
[F#]and I [G#]guess we never [C#]learn[F#],[-][G#]
Go through [C#]life[Fm], parched and[F#] empty,
standin' [C#]knee deep in a [F#]river,
[G#]and dyin' of [C#]thirst,[F#]
[G#]They roll [C#]by [Fm] just like [F#]water,[C#]
[F#]and I [G#]guess we never [C#]learn[F#],[-][G#]
Go through [C#]life[Fm], parched and[F#] empty,
standin' [C#]knee deep in a [F#]river,
[G#]and dyin' of [C#]thirst,[Fm][F#][G#][C#]
