[Intro] Em G Cadd9 (x2) [Verse 1]
Em                    G               Cadd9
Some days I can't say why I'm feeling lonely

Em                 G                Cadd9
Some days I am too proud to ask for help

      Em                  G
And I stumble through the noise

Cadd9
Trying to find some peace

  Am7             Em7           D
A stranger in the crowd, I lose myself
[Chorus]
           Cadd9       G
So, I walk down to the river

          Cadd9                G
Where the troubles, they can't find me

        Cadd9          Em
Let the waters there remind me

               D              Bm
The sun will be there when we wake

       Cadd9       G
I walk down to the river

         Cadd9          G
Though I might not understand it

         Cadd9        Em
It's not always as we planned it

             D               Bm
But we grow stronger when we break

         ( Em Cadd9 )    G   D
So, I walk down - to the river

     ( Em Cadd9 )    G   D
I walk down - to the river
[Verse 2]
Em                    G          Cadd9
This raging world can get so overwhelming

Em            G               Cadd9
Looking for a meaning when it won't make sense

      Em               G
In my head its getting loud

       Cadd9
Like i can't outrun this cloud

   Am7             Em7             D
No matter where i go well there i am
[Chorus]
           Cadd9       G
So, I walk down to the river

          Cadd9                G
Where the troubles, they can't find me

        Cadd9          Em
Let the waters there remind me

               D              Bm
The sun will be there when we wake

       Cadd9       G
I walk down to the river

         Cadd9          G
Though I might not understand it

         Cadd9        Em
It's not always as we planned it

             D               Bm
But we grow stronger when we break

         ( Em Cadd9 )    G   D
So, I walk down - to the river

     ( Em Cadd9 )    G   D
I walk down - to the river
[Bridge]
        Dm
Let the calm pull me under

Am7
Far beyond the thunder

C                      G  D
Tell me it will all be ok

        Dm
Let the waves take all my worries

Am7
Conquer them with fury

        C        G       D
Give me shelter, be my escape
[Chorus] (Play quieter and strum one downward stroke for each chord)
           Cadd9       G
So, I walk down to the river

          Cadd9                G
Where the troubles, they can't find me

I walk down to the river

         Cadd9          G

It's not always as we planned it

             D               Bm
But we grow stronger when we break

         ( Em Cadd9 )    G   D
So, I walk down - to the river

     ( Em Cadd9 )    G   D
I walk down - to the river

     ( Em Cadd9 )    G   D
I walk down - to the river

I walk down - to the river (to the river)

( Em (D) Cadd9 )      G   D
              to the river

Oh, oh, oh, oh (hold)
