With a nod to markiiitu for the intro riff, which I have adjusted as I didn't think it was quite right

A E D (with intro riff) x 2

  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

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

  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

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

A D x4

  E
No colour to his skin, inform the next of kin
  E       D
No colour to his skin

A     E      D
 I left my love in the river
A     E   D
 The only one I see
A      E      D
 I left his hand in the current
  E       C#m         Bm
And now I am left blowing through the trees
