[Intro]
G C D C
[Verse]
AmHomebound Henry's got a Gtumor in his head
He Cwakes up every morning after Ddreaming he was dead
He used to Amthink that life was boring, but Gnow that's not the case
He Cturns to his wife in the evening, he says "DHoney I'm afraid I'm gonna lose this race."
[Chorus]
Sweet River, GrolClD  
Call over GmeC  D  
CSweet River, GroCllD  
Call over GmeC  D  
AmSoaking wet Juliet- she lives in a well Gfull of tears
Her Chusband left her for some bimbo after Dtwenty-two years
Now she's Amgot to start all over, but she's Gjust so terrified
She Cthinks it woulda been so much easier if he Dwoulda just died
[Chorus]
Sweet River, GrolClD  
Call over GmeC  D  
CSweet River, GroCllD  
Call over GmeC  D  
[Verse]
AmAnd I'm lookin out my car window sittin' in the Gpouring rain
Although your Chouse is fifteen miles away, I can Dstill feel your pain
AmI've thought and prayed and worked it through about a Ghundred times or more
How your Csoul just cries to everyone to help you Dget up off the floor
Right now it's Ammorning, you're probably totally Gunaware
Of the Cflood of kisses you hold back by the Dway that you despair
It ain't Amme I'm talking about here, or Ganybody else you can touch
That's Call I want to say right now, I don't want to Dsay too much
Except Sweet Jesus, GrolCl D  Call over GmeC  D  
CSweet Jesus, GroCll D  Call over GmeC..D.
