Take Me To The River

E7                                              D   A
I don't know why I love you like I do
E7                                                              D   A
After all the changes you been putting me through
E7                                              D   A
You took my money and my cigarettes
E7                                     D  A
I haven’t seen the worst of it
C                         G            D         A  A7

E7                                              D   A
Think about the  things we could have had
E7                                              D   A
Love is emotion that I can't forget

The sixteen candles burn on my wall
E7                                              D   A
Then tell me who is the biggest fool of them all
