River Rising

[Instrumental intro - bass, drum, rhythm guitar] [Verse 1 - D Minor] Tuesday morning, you still smell like his cologne, I got dirt under my nails from a job left undone. We meet where the streetlight's burned out on McLemore, Both with rings in our pockets, but we both know the score. [Pre-Chorus] We don't talk about tomorrow, We don't even talk at all - [Chorus - D Minor] The river keeps risin', but we don't run, We just wade in deeper when we know we should be done. There's a reckoning comin', everybody sees the flood, But we keep swimmin' against this river of love. [Verse 2 - D Minor] Your sister saw my truck parked behind the Arcade, My boss asked why I'm smilin' when I show up late these days. You changed your hair, I changed my route home from work, We're buildin' levees out of lies, but they won't hold back the hurt. [Pre-Chorus - D Minor] The water's at the doorstep, But we won't climb the hill - [Chorus - D Minor] The river keeps risin', but we don't run, We just wade in deeper when we know we should be done. There's a reckoning comin', everybody sees the flood, We gonna end up drownin' in this river of love. [Bridge] I know the look you give me when he's gone for the day, How my voice goes quiet when someone mentions your name. We both know drowning, baby - Just forgot how to fear. [Final Chorus] The river keeps risin', and we don't run, Yeah, we hold each other while the whole world comes undone. Let it take the house, let it take the land, Long as I go under with your hand in my hand. [Outro - F Major] The river keeps risin'... (We don't run) The river keeps risin'... (We don't run) [End]
