[Intro 1]
[Am]
[F][Am]
[F]
[Am]I was fifteen

[Verse 1]
[Am]
when my daddy died
Mama worked two jobs just to get by
Seemed like a blessing when
Harley came around
So she took his name,
but I [Em]had [G]my d[Am]oubts
Didn't take long for his drinking ways to
start showing up on mama's face
One violent night, hiding under my bed
I swore that he wouldn't see
another [G]sun[Am]set[F]
Next day I fol[C]lowed him
down to the ri[G]verbank[F]
I knew one of [C]us wouldn't [Em]walk away

[Verse 2]
[Am]I might have had a plan, but he didn't know it
I might have been scared,
but I didn't show [C]it
That's [G]all between the
[Am]river and [Em]me[C]
With [Am]the current and the rocks
it could have been misty
He might have been sober,
but I brought the [C]whiskey
That's [G]all between the [Am]river and me

[Verse 3]
[Am]
I walked up to him, and I said his name
Just so he could see the
look on my face
We stood eye to eye and toe to toe
When I told him that he wasn't
gonna come [G]back [Am]home[F]
He raised his [C]fist to me, but I did[G]n't flinch
I [F]said, "I ain't your son,
[C]you son[Em] of a bitch."

[Verse 4]
[Am]I might have had a knife in my back pocket
I might have pulled it out
before he saw [C]it
That's [G]all between the [Am]river and me
[C]I m[Am]ight have had a gun, but I didn't fire it
He might have tried to yell,
but I kept him [C]quiet
That's [G]all between the
[Am]river and [C]me
That's [G]all between the [Am]river and me

[Verse 5]
Sher[Am]iff came knocking
on our front door
They said they found his
body by the reservoir
Bottle in his shirt and liquor in his blood
He must have fallen in the river
and he never came up

[Verse 6]
There [Am]might have been blood,
but they never saw it
Just a little mud on the living
[C]room carpet
That's [G]all between the [Am]river and me
[C]Well, aft[Am]er what he done,
there ain't no wonder
I can't remember how long
I held [C]him under
That's [G]all between the
[Am]river and [C]me
That's [G]all between the
[Am]river and [C]me
That's [G]all between the
[Am]river and [C]me
That's [G]all

[Outro 1]
That's all
[Em][Am]
