Verse
The Amriver that runs through my hometown used to Gfreeze over in the winter
Fmaj7maj7 C
We'd go down to the waterâs edge with a jug oFmaj7 red wine
And the Amgirl I loved most oFmaj7 my liFmaj7Ge she'd take my hand and with a smile
We'd Fmaj7walk across the water to passC the time
Prechorus
Am Her mother would prayFmaj7 with the porcCh light on so she could find her wGay
Chorus
Am Fmaj7 C G â G11 â G6
She said "If you don't believe then how can you make it through
Am Fmaj7 C G â G11 â G6
If there's nothing but lies then how will my children learn to tell the truth
Am Fmaj7 C G â G11 â G6
If you don't believe darling what can you do
Cause if Amnothing really Fmaj7matters then what's the use&Cquot;C
Verse
About Amfive days after I turned 16 she Ggrabbed my face and swore to me
This Fmaj7town will crush the life from all my dreaCms
So she Amstole the keys to her daddy's car and with Gfear in her eyes, she begged for my arms
butFmaj7 no matter what she said I wasn't ready to leavCe
Prechorus
Am And her father would Fmaj7wait with the porcCh light on till she could find her wGay
Chorus
Am Fmaj7 C G â G11 â G6
And he'd said "If you don't believe then how can you make it through
Am Fmaj7 C G â G11 â G6
If there's nothing but lies then how will your children learn to tell the truth
Am Fmaj7 C G â G11 â G6
If you don't believe darling what can you do
Cause if Amnothing really Fmaj7matters then what's the use&Cquot;C
Bridge
And the Amplace they say I got my eyes is from a Gbroken man who never smiled
In Fmaj7pictures he wouldn't know me on the streCet
Now you can Amcross your heart a thousand times but Gmost nights I'm left here wondering why
I ever Fmaj7loved someone who's so afraid oCf me
Prechorus
Am I'd sit and I'd waiFmaj7t for the porcCh light on till she comes back to meG
Chorus
Am Fmaj7 C G â G11 â G6
And I'd say, "If you don't believe than how can we make it through
Am Fmaj7 C G â G11 â G6
If there's nothing but lies then how will our children learn to tell the truth
Am Fmaj7 C G â G11 â G6
If you don't believe darling what can we do
Cause if Amnothing really Fmaj7mattersâ I said,C âif nothiGng really matters, oh love,
If Amnothing really Fmaj7matters, then what's the use?C"C
AmOhhhhh Fmaj7 C G
