verse 1 
A              D/A   E/A      D/A   E/A    D/A    A  D/A   E/A D/A E/A D/A 
   Many people    ...tell you that they're your friend, 
           A              D/A 
You be - lieve them, you need them, 
E/A        D/A    E/A   D/A   A       D/A     E/A D/A E/A D/A 
      For what's 'round the river bend, 
  E                          D4        Dsus2  D         A  D/A   E/A D/A E/A D/A 
Make sure that you're re - ceiving the sig - nals they send, 
          E              D4       D  Dsus2     A   D/A    E/A D/A E/A D/A

A        D/A             E/A   D/A  E/A  D/A  A  D/A    E/A D/A E/A D/A 
   Maybe,   ...there's someone who makes you weep, 
      A              D/A         E/A 
And some nights they loom up a - head, 
D/A   E/A  D/A    A   D/A    E/A D/A E/A D/A 
When you're a - sleep, 
E                       D4            D   Dsus2        A  D/A   E/A D/A E/A D/A 
   Some days, there's things on your mind you should keep, 
E                    D4        D   Dsus2    A  D/A     E/A D/A E/A D/A 
   Sometimes, it's tougher to look than to leap!
