           Csus                      C
There is a river that washes you clean

           Csus                               C
There is a tree that marks the places you've been

                    Am                      D 
Blood that was spilled, although not your own,

                   Am             Csus                     C               
For all of your tears, are the wages for things you have done

C                    Am
And all of those nights

          C                           G
Spent alone in the darkness of your mind

Csus              Em   Am
Give it up, Let go

C                                    G
These are things you were never meant to shoulder

             Csus                    C
There is a river that washes you clean

             Csus                              C
There is a tree that marks the places you've been

                    Am                     D
Blood that was spilled, although not your own

                  Csus                G
For all of those tears, love will atone

                   Am
So, give up the right

     Csus                                  C
To control the waves that empty out your life

              Am
Above wild skies

          Csus                              G              
Are the rays that break the shadows we design

      Csus      Em  Am  
Give it up, let go

      Csus                                      C
These are things you were never meant to shoulder

      Csus       G
Give it up, let go
(Chorus)
Csus                Em                 Am 
I know the world can turn in different ways

Csus                 Em               Am
Most of the time, we're simply hanging on

Csus                     Em         Am
And under the signs of how we all behave

Csus                                G
We might find the place where we belong
Csus-Em-Am (3x) Csus-F-G
              Csus                   C
There is a river that washes you clean

              Csus                              C
There is a tree that marks the places you've been

                    Am                      D
Blood that was spilled, although not your own

                   Csus                C
For all of these things, love will atone

                   Csus                         C
For all of those nights, that you cried all alone

                 Csus                C
For all of your tears, love will atone
