Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro/verse – [G/f#] [G/f#] all with roots

Words can mean so much

Unsaid words

She regrets

Everyday, every time

You’re near

She can’t stand herself

But she wishes

wishes to go back

Chorus – G C9 Em

(going between the two) still all with roots

To that time by the river

When you tried to kiss her

But she refused

(echo) She refused

Now all she thinks about is you

And there’s nothing you can do

Verse chords

You’ve moved on

But she’s still stuck in her place

Thinking about what she didn’t do

Because she was too

Scared

Regret is what she feels now

It replays in her mind

Every time she goes back

Chorus chords

To that time by the river

When you tried to kiss her

But she refused

(echo) She refused

Now all she thinks about is you

And there’s nothing you can do

 Bridge – [G/f#]

Now she’s the one

Sitting at home by herself

On a Friday night

While her friends are out

And without a doubt

They don’t realize

What’s happening to her

She’s blending into the wall

She doesn’t want to be seen at all

But she still imagines back

Chorus chords

To that time by the river

When you tried to kiss her

But she refused

(echo) She refused

Now all she thinks about is you

And there’s nothing you can do

Verse chords

She’s ready to let go

Thinking there’s no use

I have no place in this world anymore

He walks up behind her

Taps her on the shoulder

And says, every time I see your face

I go back

Chorus chords

To the time by the river

When I tried to kiss you

But you refused

(echo) You refused

Now all I think about is you

And there’s nothing you can do

Verse chords

If it’s not too late

I wanna ask for you back

I still love you

And I hope you do too

I’ve waited too long to say this

I love you

And I want to go back

To that time by the river

And try it all again (pause)
