F C Dm Bb F
[Chorus]
F
The river's too wide now for crossing
C F
The waters rush too loud for talking
C
We never build bridges for walking
Bb F
'cause the river's too wide
[Verse 1]
Bb F
A gentle stream once flowed between us
Bb F
But love could cross it easily
Bb F
Till stormy skies brought bitter teardrops
C
And made that stream a raging river
Bb F
Come between you and me
[Chrous]
The river's too wide now for crossing
C F
The waters rush too loud for talking
C
We never build bridges for walking
Bb F
There's no getting to the other side
The river's too wide now for crossing
C F
The current goes too deep for mending
C
It looks like an unhappy ending
Bb F
'cause the river's too wide
[Interlude]
F C Dm Bb F
[Verse 2]
Bb F
Good lessons learned are not forgotten
Bb F
We gave up love to save our pride
Bb F
Next time i'm faced with rising waters
C
I'll build a bridge of love and kindness
Bb F
Reaching to the other side
[Chorus]
The river's too wide now for crossing
C F
The waters rush too loud for talking
C
We never build bridges for walking
Bb F
There's no getting to the other side
The river's too wide now for crossing
C F
The current goes too deep for mending
C
It looks like an unhappy ending
Bb F
'cause the river's too wide
