Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 You keep closing your eyes

 Trying to ignore it

Hoping it’ll disappear

Face to face with your own Goliath

 At least that’s how it looks from here

All the stones you can throw

 Won’t scare it away

 And pacing back and forth

 Trying to think of something

 To get you to the other side

 The path of your fear

 Runs in all directions

 When you’re looking for a place to hide

But you know the one you’ve gotta take

Chorus

There’s no way around a river, baby

Wade on in the deep

And when you can’t go any further

Hold on to me

And if it pulls you under

I’ll be there too

There’s no way around a river, baby

 It’s just something you’ve gotta go through

 The troubles you face

 The wounds you’re protecting

 The sins that you wrestle with

 We all have our share we’d like to get over

 Sometimes there’s just no bridge

And the very thing that makes us afraid

Is just what we need to wash it away

Chorus

There’s no way around a river, baby

Wade on in the deep

And when you can’t go any further

Hold on to me

And if it pulls you under

I’ll be there too

There’s no way around a river, baby

 It’s just something you’ve gotta go through

 That’s the way it is

 So just wade on in

 I’ll see you on the other side

No way around it

 No way around a river, baby

 Wade on in, wade on in

And if it pulls you under

I’ll be there too

There’s no way around a river, baby

 It’s just something you’ve gotta go through

 Oh yes it is, yes it is

 Oh, no way around it

 No way around a river, baby

 Wade on in, wade on in – yeah
