The Present Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D](Dan Messe)
[A]When I saw him by the [D]river
He [A]just smiled and closed [D]his eyes
He said you [G]know that
you're gonna [D]give her
One more [A]present - one more lie
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
I didn't [A]see him for a [D]while then
Though I [A]heard his name [D]around
So I [G]walked down a hundred [D]miles when
On that [A]Iron Bridge it was [G]him I found
[D]

[Verse 3]
I said [A]you know that I have [D]wandered
By the [A]dust here on my [D]feet
For every [G]present that I have
[D]squandered
On every [A]false heart that I meet
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
But I can[A]'t take back what [D]I gave them
No, I [A]can't make right
what I've made [D]wrong
I [G]can't pretend that
I tried to [D]save them
When they [A]were drowning in my [G]song
[D]

[Verse 5]
So I [A]don't come here for a [D]new scar
For to [A]cover the things I've [D]done
I [G]just come here to see how [D]you are
Maybe [A]see how I've become
[G][D]

[Verse 6]
Well he [A]lay there on that [D]Iron Bridge
Where [A]the Earth and the waters [D]part
He said Hel[G]lo there well ain't you [D]gonna

[Outro 1]
