I try to [G]hold you, but you slip a[B7]way Like morning [Em]dew that can’t [Dm7]stay [G7]
Every [C]smile, every look, it never lasts [Bm]moments I wish I [Em]could make [Am]last [D]
Your touch is [G]gentle, like the tide Pulling me [B7]close, then saying goodbye
I reach for [Em]you, but you’re not mine Like water [Dm7]flowing through my [G7]hands in time
I [C]wish I knew how to make you [Bm]stay But love like[Am] this just drifts a[D]way
You slip right through my [G]fingers Like a river I can’t [B7]hold
Every heartbeat [Em]trembles But your [Dm7]warmth turns [G7]cold
I try to [C]keep you near But the current [Bm]pulls you [Em]free
I can only [Am]watch, my dear As you [D]slip right through [G]me
Verse 2
[G]I remember nights under the stars Every [B7]word we said, every scar
We [Em]danced like waves beneath the moon But [Dm7]morning comes, and you’re [G7]gone too soon
I [C]catch the whispers of your voice A [Bm]fleeting song, I [Em]had no choice
I [Am]wanted to stay, I wanted to fight But [D]love like water won’t hold tight
I [C]wish I knew how to make you [Bm]stay But love like[Am] this just drifts a[D]way
You slip right through my [G]fingers Like a river I can’t [B7]hold
Every heartbeat [Em]trembles But your [Dm7]warmth turns [G7]cold
I try to [C]keep you near But the current [Bm]pulls you [Em]free
I can only [Am]watch, my dear As you [D]slip right through [G]me
Bridge
[C]Maybe someday the tide will [D]slow Maybe love will learn to [Bm]grow
But for now, I let you [Em]be Like [Am]water flowing endless[D]ly
You slip right through my [G]fingers Like a river I can’t [B7]hold
Every heartbeat [Em]trembles But your [Dm7]warmth turns [G7]cold
I try to [C]keep you near But the current [Bm]pulls you [Em]free
I can only [Am]watch, my dear As you [D]slip right through [G]me
