Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D]
Friends I [F#m]could count on,

[Verse 1]
[G]
I could count on [D]one hand
With [G]a leftover finger or [A]two[D]
I took 'em [F#m]for granted,
[G]let 'em all slip awa[D]y[G]
Now where they [A]are I wish I [D]knew[G]
[A]They roll by

[Verse 2]
[D]jus[A]t like w[Bm]ater[D][G]
And I [A]guess we never [D]learn[G]
[A]Go through [D]life [A]parched and emp[Bm]ty
Standing [D]knee deep in a [G]river
[A]and dying of thi[D]rst[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]Sometimes I remem[F#m]ber
[G]sweethearts [D]I've known
Some I've [G]forgotten I sup[A]pose
[D]One or two still lin[F#m]ger,
[G]oh, and I wonder now[D][G]
Why [A]I ever let [D]them go?[G]
[A]They roll by

[Verse 4]
[D]jus[A]t like w[Bm]ater[D][G]
And I [A]guess we never [D]learn[G]
[A]Go through [D]life [A]parched and emp[Bm]ty
Standing [D]knee deep in a [G]river[A]
and dying of [D]thirst
[G][D][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]So the sidewalk is [F#m]crowded,
[G]the city goes by[D]
And I [G]rush through another [A]day
[D]And a world full of str[F#m]angers
[G]turn their eyes to [D]me
[G]But I just loo[A]k the other way[D][G]
[A]They roll by

[Verse 6]
[D]jus[A]t like w[Bm]ater[D][G]
And I [A]guess we never [D]learn[G]
[A]Go through [D]life [A]parched and emp[Bm]ty
Standing [D]knee deep in a [G]river[A]
and dying of [D]thirst
They roll by just [G]like water
And I guess we never learn
[A]Go through life

[Verse 7]
[D]
[A]parched and emp[Bm]ty
Standing [D]knee deep in a [G]river
[A]and dying [D]of thirst
