F C Dm Bb F

[Chorus]
F
The river's too wide now for crossing
      C          F
The waters rush too loud for talking
                 C
We never build bridges for walking
            Bb           F
'cause the river's too wide

[Verse 1]
            Bb                     F
A gentle stream once flowed between us
               Bb           F
But love could cross it easily
              Bb                    F
Till stormy skies brought bitter teardrops
                                C
And made that stream a raging river
Bb                    F
Come between you and me

[Chrous]

The river's too wide now for crossing
       C     F
The waters rush too loud for talking
                  C
We never build bridges for walking
              Bb                 F
There's no getting to the other side

The river's too wide now for crossing
       C     F
The current goes too deep for mending
                   C
It looks like an unhappy ending
             Bb          F
'cause the river's too wide

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
               Bb                 F
Good lessons learned are not forgotten
             Bb               F
We gave up love to save our pride
               Bb                  F
Next time i'm faced with rising waters
                                   C
I'll build a bridge of love and kindness
Bb                      F
Reaching to the other side

[Chorus]

The river's too wide now for crossing
       C     F
The waters rush too loud for talking
                  C
We never build bridges for walking
              Bb                 F
There's no getting to the other side

The river's too wide now for crossing
       C     F
The current goes too deep for mending
                   C
It looks like an unhappy ending
             Bb          F
'cause the river's too wide
