[Verse 1]
        Em                  D
Take me back to the river's edge,
C
I wandered out alone,
      Em           D            C
Never thought that I was coming home,
        Em                  D
Take me back to the river's edge,
C
No one will ever know,
        Em       D             C
In your father's eyes, I'm not enough,

Em  D   C        Em  D   C       
Ohh Ohh Ohhhh    Ohh Ohh Ohhhh

[Chorus]
Am           Em        G                  C
   There's a fire that goes out when I'm alone,
        Em                  D      
Take me back to the river's edge,
Am     Em       G                C
   Any day now, I will be coming home,
       Bm             D        
Nobody else need ever know.

Em  D   C        Em  D   C
Ohh Ohh Ohhhh    Ohh Ohh Ohhh

[Verse 2]
        Em                  D
Take me back to the river's edge,
C
Down where the water was calm,
Em                   D                    C
Sun setting heavy, behind all the trees below,
Em                          D
Thought I saw a sign in the sky,
       C
It was only your reflection above,
   Em                     D                     C
We spend our whole lives, running from those we love,

[Chorus]
Am           Em        G                  C
   There's a fire that goes out when I'm alone,
        Em                  D      
Take me back to the river's edge,
Am     Em       G                C
   Any day now, I will be coming home,
       Bm             D                 C
Nobody else need ever know, I went out alone
