Intro - C - Em - F - G - C - Em - F - G 
 
 
(verse 1) 
 
C               Em       F                      C 
Friends I could count on   I could count on one hand, 
                F         G  F - G 
with a leftover finger or two, 
C              Em      F                   C 
I took 'em for granted, let 'em all slip away, 
F             G            C    F 
Now where they are I wish I knew, 

G         C  Em         F     C 
They roll by,  just like water 
F    G              C      F - G 
and I guess we never learn 
           C   Em            F 
Go through life, parched and empty 
         C              F    G 
standin' knee deep in a river 
             C      Em - F - G 
and dyin' of thirst  
 
 
(verse 2) 
C             Em    F                  C 
Sometimes I remember, sweethearts I've known, 
             F           G   F - G 
Some I've forgotten I suppose, 
C                Em    F                C 
One or two still linger, oh and I wonder now, 
F    G             C  F 
why I ever let them go, 
G         C  Em         F     C 
They roll by,  just like water, 
F    G              C      F - G 
and I guess we never learn, 
           C   Em            F 
Go through life, parched and empty, 
         C              F    G 
standin' knee deep in a river, 
             C      Em - F - G - C - Em - F 
and dyin' of thirst,
