Intro
C* C* (D**) EmGCC (D*) EmGVerse 1CCGG
Well there's a river that runs through Glasgow
EmCGG
And it makes her but it breaks her and takes her in two parts
CC (D*) EmG
And her current just like my blood flows
C D* G (C)G
Down from the hills, round aching bones to my restless heart
ChorusCG (D)
Well I would swim but the river is so wide. And,
CG (D)
I'm scared I won't make it to the other side. Well,
CG (D)GG
God knows I've failed but He knows that I've tried
CG (D)
I long for something that's safe and warm. But,
CG (D)
All I have is all that is gone
CG (D)G (C)G
I'm as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde

C* C* (D**) EmGCC (D*) EmGVerse 2CCGG
Well on one side all the lights glow
EmCGG
And the folks know where the kids go when the music and the drinking starts
CC (D*) EmG
On the other side where no cars go
C D* G (C)G
Up to the hills that stand alone like my restless heart
ChorusCG (D)
Well I would swim but the river is so wide. And,
CG (D)
I'm scared I won't make it to the other side. Well,
CG (D)GG
God knows I've failed but He knows that I've tried

I long for something that's safe and warm. But,

Well the sun sets late in Glasgow
EmCGG
And the daylight and the city part
CC (D*) EmG
And I think of you in Glasgow
C D* G
Cos you're all that's safe, you're all that's warm in my restless heart
