G                               F
  Always thought I'd cross that river

Em                        F
  The other side distant now

G                                F
  As we got close it turned and widened

Em                       F
  The horizon now, fading out

C
Drifting off in the undertow

      F
Can't spot a figure on dry land

    C
And afterthoughts of safety

         F
When in truth, none to be had

            G   F
None to be had

Em         F
ooooh
[Verse 2]
G                           F
  I used to tell time by my shadow

Em
 Til the thunder clouds

              F
They took the stage

G
  These days will end,

          F
as do the light's rays

Em                     F
  Another read of the same page
{Verse 3]
 C
Wide awake through this deepest night

       F
Still waiting on the sun

        C
As the hours seem to multiply

       F
Find a star to soldier on

    C
Oh folded over forced in a chokehold

    F
outnumbered and held down

       C
as we fight with the invisible

         F
for the future feel the promise now

             G
of here and now

          F
here and now

       Em
won't hold us down

         F
won't hold us down

        G
let it out

G
shout it out

        F
get it out

F
get it out

       Em
won't hold us down

       F
won't hold us down

G
share the light

               F
won't hold us down

F
share the light

               Em
won't hold us down

Em
share the light

              F
won't hold us down

           G
share the light
