There ain't [C]no gold in this [Am7]river
[Em]washing my hands in [Fmaj7]forever
I know [G]there [C]is hope in these [Am7]waters
But I can't b[Em]ring myself to swim
When[Fmaj7] I am drowning in the silence
Baby, let [Fmaj7]me in
Go [C]easy [Am7] [G]on me, baby
[Em]I was [Fmaj7]still a child
[C]Didn’t [Fmaj7]get the chance to
[C]Feel [Am7]the [G]world around me
[Em]I had no [Fmaj7]time to choose
W[C]hat I [Fmaj7]chose to do
So go [C]easy on me[Am7] [Em] [Fmaj7]
[G]There aren't [C]no room
For things to [Am7]change
When we are [Em]both so deeply
Stuck in [Fmaj7]our ways
Y[G]ou can't [C]deny
How hard[Am7] I tried
I changed [Em]who I was
To put you [Fmaj7]both first
But now I give[Fmaj7] up
Go [C]easy [Am7] [G]on me, baby
[Em]I was [Fmaj7]still a child
D[C]idn’t[Fmaj7] get the chance to
[C]Feel [Am7]the [G]world around me
[Em]I had no [Fmaj7]time to choose
W[C]hat I [Fmaj7]chose to do
So go [C]easy [Am7] [Em] on [Fmaj7]me
[C]I had good intent[Am7]ions
And the high[Em]est hopes
But I know it now [Fmaj7]
It probably doesn't even [Fmaj7]show
[G]Go [C]easy [Am7] [G]on me, baby
[Em]I was [Fmaj7]still a child
[C]Didn’t[Fmaj7] get the chance to
[C]Feel [Am7]the [G]world around me
[Em]I had no [Fmaj7]time to choose
W[C]hat I [Fmaj7]chose to do
So go e[C]asy on me[Am7] [Em] [Fmaj7]
