_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ You've been river, _ river, river, carry me on to [F] the place where [C] I come from.
So _
[G] _ [C] why, _ [F] when you take me on your back [C] for a ride, _ _ if I [F] should [Am] fall, [F] would you stop?
To swallow me [C] deep inside?
_ _ River, [G]
show me [C] how to float.
_ [F] I feel like I'm [C] sinking down.
_ _ Thought [Em] that I [Am] could [C] get along.
But here, [F#] in this water, [C] my [G] feet [C] won't touch the ground.
I [D] need something [C] to turn myself around. _ _ _
Going [G] _ [C] away, _ [F] away I _ [C] _ see. _ _
River _ [Am] deep, [F] _ can you lift up and [C] carry me? _ _ _
[Dm] Or [G] roll on [C] through the heartland _ [F] till the sun has lit [C] the sky? _ _
_ [Em] _ [F] River, carry [C] me on till the [F] washing [F#] of the water, [C] [Gm] make it [C] all alright.
[F] Let your [D] waters reach me [C] like she reached me tonight.
[Am] Letting go, [C] it's so hard, the [F] way it's hurting [D] now.
[G#] Get this [Am] love on tight, [C] so tough to stay with this [F] thing.
Cause if I follow through, [D] I'll [G#] face what [Am] I_
I [C] get those hooks out of me, [F] and I take out the hooks [D] that are [G#] sunk deep in [Am] your side.
Kill [G] that fear with emptiness, [F] loneliness [C] I'll hide.
[F] River, [F#] oh river, [F] river [C] running deep. _
[F] Bring [F#] me something [F] that will let me get [C] to sleep.
In the [F] washing [D] of the water, [F] will you take it [C] all away?
Bring [F] [D] me something [C] to [G] take this pain [C]
