  2. 2Set the speed down and turn CLICK on. Press each key exactly when the note reaches the line.
  3. 3Loop the bar that keeps breaking until it feels easy, then add the left hand and take the speed back up.

LYRICS

Tried

to keep

you close

to me,

but life

got in be tween.

Tried

to square

not be

ing there,

but think

that I should have been.

Hold back the riv er, let me look in your eyes.

Hold back the riv er so I

can stop for a min ute and see where you hide.

Hold back the riv er, hold back.

Hold back the riv er, let me look in your eyes.

Hold back the riv er so I

can stop for a min ute and see where you hide.

Hold back the riv er, hold back.
