INTRO: C  Em  F  G  C    Em  F  G  C

                Em       F                     C
Friends I could count on, I could count on one hand
                F          G   F G C
With a leftover finger or two
               Em      F                  C    F
I took 'em for granted, let 'em all slip away
               G             C     F
Now where they are, I wish I knew


CHORUS:
G         C  Em          Am      C  F
They roll by___ just like water
      G              C      F 
And I guess we never learn
G          C   Em               Am
Go through life___, parched and empty
         C              F      G
Standing knee deep in a river
             C      Em  F  G  C
And dying of thirst


          Em         F                 C
Sometimes I remember, sweethearts I've known
             F           G    F G C
Some I've forgotten I suppose
                      Em     F                 C    F
One or two will still linger, oh, and I wonder now
      G             C   F
Why I ever let them go
      
    
CHORUS:
G         C  Em          Am      C  F
They roll by___ just like water
      G              C      F 
And I guess we never learn
G          C   Em               Am
Go through life___, parched and empty
         C              F      G
Standing knee deep in a river
             C      
And dying of thirst

                    Fm      F#             C#
So, the sidewalk is crowded, the city goes by
           F#              G#   F# G# C#
And I rush through another day
                    Fm        F#                  C#   F#
And a world full of strangers, turn their eyes to me
           G#             C#   F#
But I just look the other way
