The lyrics and chords: G E7 How come we can't talk to each other any more? Am D7 G Am7 D7 Why can't you see I'm changing too? G E7 We've got by far too long to end it feeling wrong, Am D7 And I still share too much with you.
Em D Just one great river always flowing to the sea, Em Am D7 One single river rolling in eternity. G E7 Two nations in the land that lies along each shore Am D7 G Am7 G But just one river rolling free.
How come you shut me out as if I wasn't there? What's this new bitterness you've found? However wronged you were, however strong it hurt, It wasn't me that held you down.
Why can't you understand? I'm glad you're standing proud; I know you made it on your own. But in this pride you earned, I thought you might have learned That you don't have to stand alone.
Lonely northern rivers come together till you see One single river rolling in eternity. Two nations in the land that lies along each shore, But just one river, you and me.
Note that the chorus says "along EACH shore", not "along ITS shore" as quoted above by Guest 999.
