[F] [Am]
[D] [D] Then she moved back around here [C] 35 [Am] weeks [D] ago today
And rolled down the lane
Well, tonight she walks on the banks
[F] And remembers [Am] how she dreamed [D] of rolling away
And how she left one day
She [Am] left the [E] river looking [G] right
Came back [D] around with a school in [A] sight
Said give it some time, we'll forget about it too
We [G] know they always do
[D] But I know [Bm] somehow
[A] You will find your way
[D] Across the river
Across the river
Oh, [G] now [C] there's a long [E] way to go
[D] Across the river
Across the river
She walked proud and so strong
[F] And she tried [Am] and I could tell
She [A] waddled tall
[G] Downtown [D] as she walked
[D] Well, they sit around and they say
[F] She came [Am] back with a tail [D] between her legs
Like they always said she would
[Am] Well, I hear it's [E] better on the other [G] side
Said you never [D] could so don't even [Am] try
Well, you may be beaten down if you close [G] your mind
Don't try to make it right
But [D] I know somehow
[Bm] [A] You will find your [D] way
Across the river
Across the river
Oh, now [Bm] [C] there's a [A] long way to go
[D] Across the river
Across the river
Well, [Bb] I [F] hear the truth
[G] It's what they say
[Bb] I dreamed [F] she'd pay
Then [G] I looked down and
[D] Whoa, there she is!
[Bm] [G] [D]
[Bm] [A] [D]
[F] [D]
Standing on the shore
[F] She looks [A] to the west
Well, look [D] how long
That [D] grass in between her
[A] Well, there's a heart and distant friends
[G] Probably won't [D] happen but I think I'm [A] shocked
Well, even if it doesn't happen for [G] me
Still, pizza hanging by a ear
Well, I know somehow
[Bm] [A] You will find your way
[D] Across the river
Oh, [Bm] [G] now there's a long way to go
[D] Across the river
Across the river
[Bm] [A] Across [D] the river
Across
[Bm] [A] [D]
the river
[Bm] [G]
[F] [Am] [D]
