C* Em*
Down to the river to silence me, love took me down to the river to silence me
C*
love took me down to the river to silence me, love took me down to the river to silence me
Em*
love took me down to the river to silence me, love took me down to the river to silence me
C* Em*
My love took me down to the river to silence me,
C* Em*
And when he left I could not speak.
C* Em*
I lay on the ground I tried to scream,
C* Em*
But no sound did come out, I could only bleed blue.
C* Em*
I waited for him till the frost did come,
C* Em*
My skin it turned blue and my body was numb.
C* Em*
But my heart it burned out till it was no more,
C* Em*
Still I wait on the ground I don't know what for.
Am* Em*
There, there is a heart in here.
Am* Em*
Where, where is the heart in here?
Am C
This love's killing me but I want it to.
Am C
So long you're gone, just like I always knew.
G Am
But I'm still here waiting for you.
G Am (hold it out)
But I'm still here waiting for you.

Because it's breaking my heart to this very day.
