[Verse 1]
C
I will wait by the river
C
In the light of the moon
C
At the edge of the city
C
I will wait for you
F
Though I can't wait forever
F
Someday I'll be dead and gone
F
And I won't be forgiven
F C
For what I've done
[Hook]
C
I will wait by the river
C
I will wait by the river
C
I will wait by the river
C
I will wait by the river
[Verse 2]
C
I will cry out to heaven
C
As it rains down on me
C
I will beg for forgiveness
C
Get down on my knees
F
If I can't change the weather
F
Maybe I can change your mind
F
If we can't be together
F C
What's the point of life
[Bridge]
C
Baby, I didn't mean the things I said
C
I don't honestly wish you were dead
C
I'm a fool; I'm just a man
C
If I only could hold you again
[Verse 3]
F
And the stars fill the river
F
As it flows into the sky
F
And the mind leaves the body
F
And floats higher and higher
F
If we can't be together
F
I will leave this world behind
F
If I can't touch your body
F C
Can I touch the sky?
[Hook]
C
I will wait by the river
C
I will wait by the river
C
I will wait by the river
C
I will wait by the river
