[Verse]
C#m Bm
We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour
C#m Bm
I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight
C#m Bm
You took something before you went in the shower
C#m Bm
You have suppressed the things that make you feel uptight
E E/B E E/B
If I had known you couldn't swim we would never have gone in
[Chorus]
A E D
I left my love in the river
A E D
The only one who sees
A E D
I lost his hand in the current
E C#m Bm
It was the life I wanted and I’d hoped for
E C#m Bm
And now I am left sifting through the leaves
[Verse]
C#m Bm
His arms so hard, I saw his skin through his t-shirt
C#m Bm
The grass so tall, we knew we wouldn't be found
C#m Bm
We climbed into the stream so no one will be heard
C#m Bm
And in no time at all there wasn't a sound
E E/B E E/B
If I’d known you couldn't swim we would have never gone in
[Chorus]
A E D
I left my love in the river
A E D
The only one who sees
A E D
I lost his hand in the current
E C#m Bm
It was the life I wanted and I’d hoped for
E C#m Bm
And now you’re left sifting through the leaves
