Intro:
A E A E

Verse 1:
E
Just in a simple conversation
You can hear the feeling change
   A        E   A
Down   down to the sea
E

And if you need an explanation
I defy you to explain
But something's not the same
A         E
And it's bothering me

E     A          E
I think I see where  I  went wrong
     A        E   B7
I think I see what's going on
E       A     E
Meanwhile and far away
       A
As the night draws in
         B7
He's holding her right now
   A
I can feel it all begin

Chorus:
E
Meanwhile and far away
         A
When the day is done
    B7
I ride away with my friend
A         B7
Into the setting s-u-n
    E
And the rivers running down
Down to the sea

Verse 2:
E
I let love slip right through my fingers
And I watched it drift away
But still I had to say
A          E
What was written for me

E
I thought I'd end up as the hero
              A   E
Thought the glory would be mine
             A
Very soon I was to find
       E
It wasn't to be
       A          E
'Cos in this part I've  got  to play
      A              E   B7
It doesn't quite  turn  out  that  way

Chorus:
E       A     E
Meanwhile and far away
       A
As the night draws in
         B7
He's holding her right now
   A
I can feel it all begin
   E
I can feel it all begin
E
Meanwhile and far away
        A
When the day is done
    B7
I ride away with my friend
A            B7
Into the setting sun

Outro:
E
And the rivers running down
Down to the sea
A E A E
A E A E
