VERSE: I guess he lost control, and welcomed in the night It was too much for him, what were his thoughts that night' The river thames is cold, it keeps on flowing on But it left Dave alone, it just kept flowing on.

BREAK:

^G#Late night a ^Astreet in the ^Bwest of the city ^C# There was a place there where he lost himself Strange feelings did he feel there, strange people Did he meet there, angry sounds did he hear there ^DLike the howling of bulls?^A?..

CHORUS:

^EI'm not goi^Bng to cry ^A I bet he ^Dhit the water hig^Ah ^E I'm not going to cry I bet he hit the water high
