Verse:
Eadd2
Just in a simple conversation
    F#7add11
You can hear the feeling change
    Aadd2       F#7add11
Like a river running down
      E Esus4
Down to the sea (E/Esus4 is a bluesy riff for a 4 count)
      Eadd2
And if you need an explanation
 F#7add11
I defy you to explain
  Aadd2          F#7add11
But something's not the same
          E
And it's bothering me

Bridge:
     A        E
I think I see where I went wrong
     A        E  B
I think I see what's going on

Chorus:
E       A
Meanwhile and far away
E          F#m7
 As the night draws in
F#m7       A
He's holding her right now
A          E
I can feel it all begin
E       A
Meanwhile and far away
E        F#m7
 When the day is done
F#m7
I ride away my friend
 A         B
Into the setting sun
    Em7        F#m7
And the rivers running down
      E
Down to the sea

Verse:
Eadd2
I let love slip right through my fingers
   F#7add11
And I watched it drift away
  Aadd2        F#7add11
But still I had to say
           E Esus4
What was written for me (bluesy riff E Esus4)
Eadd2
I thought I'd end up as the hero
      F#7add11
Thought the glory would be mine
   Aadd2
Very soon I was to find
  F#7add11   E
It wasn't to be

Bridge:
       A        E
'Cos in this part I've got to play
      A          E  B
It doesn't quite turn out that way

Chorus:
E        A
Meanwhile and far away
E          F#m7
 As the night draws in
F#m7       A
He's holding her right now
A          E
I can feel it all begin
E       A
Meanwhile and far away
E        F#m7
 When the day is done
F#m7
I ride away my friend
 A         B
Into the setting sun
    Em7        F#m7
And the rivers running down
      E
Down to the sea
