F C/E G
You're a slow river and you run so cold
The winter here don't believe in God
The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog
I still see your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog
But one foot in your door oh that's all I ever got

Chances are you'll reappear

Swim my way in a flood of tears

No place to hide your conscience so

You're a sinking ship with no place to go
