That Time By The River
Intro/verse –  G   G/F#   C9   Em          G/F#all with roots
Words can mean so much
Unsaid words
She regrets
Everyday, every time
You’re near
She can’t stand herself
But she wishes
wishes to go back
Chorus – G C9 Em {A7sus4 D} (going between the two) still all with roots
To that time by the river
When you tried to kiss her
But she refused 
(echo) She refused
Now all she thinks about is you
And there’s nothing you can do
Verse chords
You’ve moved on
But she’s still stuck in her place
Thinking about what she didn’t do
Because she was too
Scared
Regret is what she feels now
It replays in her mind
Every time she goes back
Chorus chords
To that time by the river
When you tried to kiss her
But she refused
(echo) She refused
Now all she thinks about is you
And there’s nothing you can do
Bridge –  Em   C9   G   G/F#  
Now she’s the one
Sitting at home by herself
On a Friday night
While her friends are out
And without a doubt
They don’t realize
What’s happening to her
She’s blending into the wall
She doesn’t want to be seen at all
But she still imagines back
Chorus chords
To that time by the river
When you tried to kiss her
But she refused
(echo) She refused
Now all she thinks about is you
And there’s nothing you can do
Verse chords
She’s ready to let go
Thinking there’s no use
I have no place in this world anymore
He walks up behind her
Taps her on the shoulder
And says, every time I see your face
I go back
Chorus chords
To the time by the river						 
When I tried to kiss you						  
But you refused							      
(echo) You refused							  
Now all I think about is you						 
And there’s nothing you can do
Verse chords
If it’s not too late							   
I wanna ask for you back						   
I still love you							 
And I hope you do too						        
I’ve waited too long to say this					   
I love you								 
And I want to go back							  
To that time by the river						 
And try it all again (pause)
