River So Wide Chords & Lyrics - Phil Collins

Capo 1

[C]If we can cross at the place that divides us.
Cross the river, the river so wide,
If we can smother the pain that's inside us,
Deny the demons that wait by our [G]side,
We can [F]find, find the [C]light

[C]Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,
We share the comfort of the same stars.
Our days are bright with the light of the same sun,
That don't matter, can't you see what we [G]are,
What we [F]are, what we be[C]come?

[F/C]Keep our sights on the[G/C] way ahead,
[F/D]Don't look back, it won't [G/D]help us now.
[C/E] The storm we le[Em]ft so far be[F]hind
Seems a dark [C/G]memory that starts to [G/A]fade,
But till we [F/D]see the light we will not be [C]safe.

[C]We all sink or swim in the same ocean,
Break our skin and we will bleed
Our minutes pass with the same motion,
We face the same danger, we share the same [G]needs,
We're all the [F]same, you and [C]me.

[F/C]Keep our sights on the[G/C] way ahead,
[F/D]Don't look back, that won'[G/D]t help us now.
[C/E] Upstream, the r[Em]iver gets too w[F]ide
So we must [C/G]build that bridge right [G/A]here,
Cause if we [F/D]wait we will not reach the other [C]side.

Solo: [C] [G] [F/G] [C]

[F]See under that clear blue [G]sky
The winds of [Am]change are blowing hard and [G]long,
And they'll [F]not stop to rest 'cause the [G]change is gonna [C]come

[Percussion only until G]
[C]Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,
We share the comfort of the same stars.
Our days are bright with the light of the same sun,
That don't matter, can't you see what we [G]are,
What we [F]are, what we be[C]come?

[F/C]Keep our sights on the[G/C] way ahead,
[F/D]Don't look back, it won't [G/D]help us now.
[C/E] Cause upstream the r[Em]iver gets too w[F]ide
And if we don't [C/G]build that bridge right here, right [G/A]now,
You know we'll [F/D]never ever reach the other [C]side.

Solo: C
