You are my blade, my long lost friend [C#m] You [E] are my hope, my [B] resonance
[F#m] You are the edge, my [E] hidden blade You [C#m] carry all the [B] plans we made
[F#m] You are the path, my hidden [C#m]
trail [E] You are the end, my [B] holy grail
[F#] You are my mood, my [E] sudden rage You [C#m] are my wit, my final [B]

[D] There are no certainties we [F#m] could fall, we could break apart
[D] You pick the obvious path [E] and the whole world starts
A river [Bm] runs through [A]
you and [E] me
Never reaches [Bm] the ocean, never [F#m] reaches the sea
[Bm] A river runs through
[A] you [E] and me
Never [D] reaches the ocean, never [F#m] reaches the sea
[A]
[F#m] There is no chance we cannot [C#m] take, [E] no mistakes we [B] will not make
[F#m] Each time the whirlpool [E] drags us down, we [C#m] come alive in the spinning [B] world
[F#m] We have nothing left [C#m] to prove, [E] we have broken [B] and grown
And [F#m] all the hurt that [E] we feel, just [C#m] makes us stronger [B] when we heal
[D] There are no certainties we could [F#m] fall, we could break apart
[D] You pick the obvious path [E] and the whole world starts
A river [Bm] runs through [A]
you [E] and me
Never reaches [Bm] the ocean, never [F#m] reaches the sea
[E] A [Bm] river runs [A] through you [E] and me
Never reaches [D] the ocean, never [F#m] reaches the sea
The [C] river runs so clear, [F#] runs so fast it blinds us
[C] Me and the steer, the sea [F#m] turns back, turns and rounds us
[C] Lift us [G] up, takes us down, [A] the eddies swarm behind us, you [G] and me
