Chorus:
F#m
Down by the river
        A
I was drawn by your grace
      E
into tempest of oblivion
    Bm
And to the lovers-place
I was stucked in a puddle
Full of tears and unwise
Dark doings now I know
That we've paid unlike

        F#m
Honey I know hey
         A
when we walked arm in arm
   E
I felt like we can throw away
     Bm
the falseness of our past

And I know too
It's been the hardest days for you
Let's throw them out the window
That's what those lovers do

Chorus

Honey, I know hey
When we walked arm in arm
I felt like we can throw away
The falseness of our past
And I know too
It's been the hardest days for you
Let's throw them out the window
That's what those lovers do

(Ouh-ouh-ouhhh…) Down by the river
(Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh…) Mmh…
(Ouh-ouh-ouhhh…) Down by the river
(Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh…)
(Ouh-ouh-ouhhh…) Down by the river
(Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh…)
(Ouh-ouh-ouhhh…) Down by the river
(Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh…)

Chorus

Honey, I know hey
When we walked arm in arm
I felt like we can throw away
The falseness of our past
And I know too
It's been the hardest days for you
Let's throw them out the window
That's what those lovers do
