D/F#    Em             D/F# 
   Giving your daddy a heart attack, 
C                       G 
Sneaking out meeting me by the tracks, 
D/F#   Em                      D/F# 
   Run for the river and don't look back, 
C               G     D/F#           Em 
Teach me how to kiss, clothes on the bank, 
D                 C    G 
   Going out on a limb, 
D/F#           Em               D                  C 
   A couple of kids getting moonlit, yeah we dove right in, 
     C                D/F#            Em    D/F#  C  G  D/F# 
That Blue Ridge water right under the bridge. 
    Em                D/F#               C              G          D/F# 
She cried the night I told her how I was gonna be big, gonna break out 
Em                  D/F# 
Of that one light textile town, 
C                         G 
Tucked back in the sticks, 
    D/F#   Em 
She said don't go, 
D/F#           C 
   But I still did, 
G       G/B           Em             D/F#             C 
   Been going through hell kicking myself for letting her slip, 
     C                D               C 
Like Blue Ridge water right under the bridge.

             G               D                C 
That river's always running, don't care where it's been, 
             G 
Well I tried running with it, 
D/F#             Em 
Now I'm drowning in these thoughts of missing her and 
D/F# 
I'm gonna swim against the current, 
G             G/B             C 
   Till I get back to where she is.

Em                          D/F# 
Preacher on the bank in the afternoon, 
C                         G         G/B 
Dunking lost souls coming up brand new, 
Em                    D/F#             C               G 
Maybe we can wash the dirt off too and start all over again, 
     D/F#       Em                C    G  G/B 
If she can't forget, she might forgive, 
Em                          D/F#          C 
Treat it like a bump in the road, let it go like it, 
C                 D              C 
Blue Ridge water right under the bridge.
