The river's too wide now for crossing
The water's rushed too loud for [Bb] talking
We never build bridges for walking
Cause the river's too wide
A gentle stream once [F] flowed between us
But love [Bb] could cross it [F] easily
Till [Bb] stormy skies brought [F] bitter tear drops
And made that stream a [C] raging river come [Bb] between you [F] and [Bb] me
[F] The river's [Cm] too wide now for crossing
[Gm] The water's rushed too loud for talking
We never [Em] build bridges for walking
There's [Gm] no getting to the other [F] side
The river's too wide now for crossing
The curtain goes too deep for [C] mending
It looks like an unhappy ending
[Bb] Cause the [F] river's too [Bb] wide
[F] Good [Bb] lessons learned are [F] not forgotten
We gave [Bb] up love to save [F] our pride
Next time [Bb] I'm faced with rising [F] waters
I'll build a bridge of love [C] and kindness reaching [Bb] to the other [F] side
[Bb] [F] The river's [Cm] too wide now for crossing
The water's rushed [N] too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
There's no getting to the other side
The [F] river's too wide now for crossing
The curtain goes too deep for mending
It looks [C] like an unhappy ending
