[Intro 1]
[Em][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Ten years older than I was
When [C]I brought you down to see
[G]What I thought would make
[C]you [G]fall in love
[Em]Where an old canal would dream
[C]"Someday, man, I'm gonna be no dif
[G]ferent [C]than the other riv[G]ers"
[Em]I tried to look at you but [C]I
couldn't break the ice
[G]We stood out there for an
hour and were freezing
[Em]You put your hand around my back
[C]I guess you thought I needed
that
[G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
I never try to find [C]you
I hope you don't remem[G]ber me
But I hope you're not alone
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 3]
You [Em]wanted me to take you home
[C]You said you'd rather be alone
[G]I never [C]thought of [G]that[C]
[Em]The car was warm and we had wine
But [C]I couldn't find the perfect
[G]song[C][G][C]
[Em]Now I own furniture,
[C]a 401, and crow's feet
And I can't even remember
[G]the car[C]
Some[Em]times I can feel your weight
when [C]I close my eyes
Sev[G]en times [C]I was under you
[G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
I never try [C]to find you
I hope you don't remem[G]ber me
But I hope you're not [C]alone[G][C]
And [G]I don't wanna know
what you're think[C]ing
I'm looking out the window
[G]Jus[D]t d[G]rinking and drink[D]ing[C]
and drinking
[Em][C][G][C]

[Verse 5]
[G][C]
Shal[Em]low frame and shaky sticks but I
[C]know there's a river [G]in [C]me[G][C]
Shal[Em]low- minded adult tricks but I [C]know
[G]the[C]re'[G]s[C][Em]
[C]a river in me

[Verse 6]
[G]I n[C]eve[G]r t[C]ry [G]to find
[C]you[G][C]
I hope you don't remem[G]ber me
But I hope you're not [C]alone
And [G]I don't wanna know what
you're think[C]ing[G][C]
I'm looking out the window
[G]Just sitting there
Sitting down and fucking drinking
[C]
