[F]Mor[C]e t[F]han[C] I
[F]had in [C]mind
More than I [F]wish [Dm]I kne[C]w
And now it's [F]near [Em]on me
Some [G]rush of red [Dm]fear
And my wor[F]st old [C]times [F]look fine [C]from here

[Verse 2]
I know you [F]walked this [C]route
And you might [F]help me [C]out
You said what's [F]done [Em]is done
I can't [G]turn [Dm]the hand 'round

[Bb]See the wide young r[F]iver flood rain

[Verse 6]
[F]Of a lot[Am] I've left
[F]I'm holding nothing
[Am]But [F]what I k[Am]ept[G]
[Em]And it all got dimmer
Each [G]passing [F]step
[Am]And I need you with me
[F]And you rea[Am]d the wri[G]t[Am]
[F]Are you now ins[Am]isting
