INTRO: Am7 D G Em Am7 (repeat)

            D
You keep closing your eyes
 G
Trying to ignore it
D                G
Hoping it’ll disappear
D                      G
Face to face with your own Goliath
    D                              G
At least that’s how it looks from here
Am7  
All the stones you can throw
                D
Won’t scare it away

      D
And pacing back and forth
  G
Trying to think of something
    D                    G
To get you to the other side
     D
The path of your fear
         G
Runs in all directions
              D                     G
When you’re looking for a place to hide
Am7                                D
But you know the one you’ve gotta take


Chorus
Am7        D             G      Em
There’s no way around a river, baby
Am7     D       G
Wade on in the deep
Am7           D        G      Em
And when you can’t go any further
A
Hold on to me
G                      D
And if it pulls you under
G                
I’ll be there too
Am7        D             G        Dsus4
There’s no way around a river, baby
              D                          Am7 D G  Em Am7
It’s just something you’ve gotta go through
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/phil_stacey/no_way_around_a_river_crd.html ]
 
       D
The troubles you face
      G
The wounds you’re protecting
     D                     G
The sins that you wrestle with
   D                        G
We all have our share we’d like to get over
 D                          G
Sometimes there’s just no bridge
Am7                               D
And the very thing that makes us afraid
Am7                              D
Is just what we need to wash it away


Chorus
Am7        D             G      Em
There’s no way around a river, baby
Am7     D       G
Wade on in the deep
Am7           D        G      Em
And when you can’t go any further
A
Hold on to me
G                      D
And if it pulls you under
G                
I’ll be there too
Am7        D             G        Dsus4
There’s no way around a river, baby
              D                          Am7 D G  Em 
It’s just something you’ve gotta go through

           Am7      D    G
That’s the way it is
         A      D    G
So just wade on in
       G                  Dsus4  D 
I’ll see you on the other side

Am7  D  G

No way around it

Am7  D  G
                   Am7      D     G
No way around a river, baby
             A
Wade on in, wade on in

 
G                    D
And if it pulls you under
G          
I’ll be there too
Am7         D            G       Dsus4
There’s no way around a river, baby

              D
It’s just something you’ve gotta go through

Am7  D  G  Em  Am7
              Am7   D  G  Em  G
Oh yes it is, yes it is
    Am7      D          G 
Oh, no way around it
        Em       Am7
No way around a river, baby
             Am7  D   Em   Am7
Wade on in, wade on in – yeah
