That Was a River
(Susan Longacre/Rick Giles; as sung by Collin Raye)


(G)             C      D                     C      G
I've seen that look before; here comes that doubt again
                C      D                  C      G
You think that girl we saw was more than just a friend
G          Em                      C
Yes there was a time I thought she had it all
               D                          C         G
She meant the world to me, back when the world was small


            C  D              C  G
That was a river, this is the ocean
            C  D              C  G
That never carried this much emotion
            C                  G
Nothing compares to this deep devotion
            C  D              C  G
That was a river, this is the ocean


Key change (up a whole step)

                D     E             D           A
The love we've had before can never change this one
              D      E                  D       A
We're not imprisoned by the past we've brought along
          F#m                        D
It's just you and me, just one ship in the night
                     E                D      A
There are no boundaries, there is no end in sight


            D  E              D  A
That was a river, this is the ocean
            D  E              D  A
That never carried this much emotion
            D                  A
Nothing compares to this deep devotion
            D  E              D  A
That was a river, this is the ocean

           D                     A
Nothing compares to this deep devotion
            D  E               D  A
That was a river, this is the ocean
            D  E               D  A
That was a river, this is the ocean.
