[Verse 1]
G E
How come we can't talk to each other any more?
Am D7 G
Why can't you see I'm changing too?
G E
We've got by far too long to end it feeling wrong
Am D
And I still share too much with you
[Chorus 1]
Em D
Just one great river always flowing to the sea
Em D
One single river rolling in eternity
G E
Two nations in this land that lies along its shore
Am D G
But just one river rolling free.
[Verse 2]
G E
How come you shut me out as if I wasn't there
Am D7 G
What's this new bitterness you've found?
G E
However wronged you were, however strong it hurt
Am D
It wasn't me who held you down.
[Chorus 2]
Em D
Just one great river always flowing to the sea
Em D
One single river rolling in eternity
G E
Two nations in this land that lies along its shore
Am D G
But just one river rolling free.
[Instrumental]
Em D Em D G E Am D G
[Verse 3]
G E
Why can't you understand I'm glad you're standing proud
Am D7 G
I know you made it on your own
G E
But in this new pride you've earned, I thought you might have learned
Am D
That you don't have to stand alone
[Chorus 3]
Em D
Lonely northern river always flowing to the sea
Em D
One single river rolling in eternity
G E
Two nations in this land that lies along its shore
Am D G
But just one river rolling free.
