C#m Bm We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour C#m Bm I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight C#m Bm You took something before you went in the shower C#m Bm To help suppress the things that make you feel uptight E E/B E E/B If I had known you couldn't swim we would never have gone in Chorus: A E D I left my love in the river A E D The only one who sees A E D I lost his hand in the current E C#m Bm It was the life I wanted and I’d hoped for E C#m Bm And now I am left sifting through the leaves The sun so hot, I saw his skin through his t-shirt The grass so tall, we knew we wouldn't be found We climbed into the stream so no one would be heard And in no time at all, there wasn't a sound If I'd known you couldn't swim We would never have gone in Chorus E No colour to his skin, inform the next of kin D No colour to his skin Chorus: I left my love in the river The only one I see I left his hand in the current And now I am left blowing through the trees You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#m  D  E  B  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
