[Verse 1]
     D           D            G           D
It's four in the mornin', I'm tossin' and turnin',
        D              A       D       A
Lord, I think that I'm comin' apart;
           D           D             G              D
I cry your name in the darkness as I feel the tears burnin',
             D          A      D      D7
it's hard to sleep on a broken heart.

[Chorus]
    G             G             D       D
You tell me we've been treadin' water,
G           D           A        A
floatin' on courage and pride;
  D                D            G           D
I thought we would last but now I'm sinkin' fast
G       D        A               D        D
in this river of tears that I've cried.

[Verse 2]
  D             D                 G             D
I stare out the window and wonder where did you go
    D              A          D       A
and count the long hours 'til dawn.
     D        D/F#         G             D
If I cry me a river it's because I don't know
G       D             A           D      D7
why you drifted while I'm hangin' on.

[End-Chorus]
    G             G             D       D
You tell me we've been treadin' water,
G           D           A        A
floatin' on courage and pride;
  D                D            G           D
I thought we would last but now I'm sinkin' fast
G       D        A               D
in this river of tears that I've cried,
G      D        A               G        G  G/F#   G/E      D
  this river of tears that I've cried.
