Intro.: A D A D

   A                      A7
1. My world is like a river
   D                   D  D#  E
   as dark as it is deep 
   E
   Night after night the past slips in
                       A
   and gathers all my sleep
   A                               A7
   My days are just and endless stream
   D
   of emptiness to me
                      A
   Filled only by the fleeting
           E           A   A/G#  A/F#
   moments of her memories

2. She slipped into the silence
   G                           G  G#  A
   of my dreams again last night
   A
   Wandering from room to room,
         A7              D
   she's turning on each light
   Her laughter spills like river
            G
   from the water to the sea
                 D
   And I'm swept away from sadness
            A           D   D/C#  D/B  A  A/G#  A/F#
   clinging to her memories
