Oh I thought we were a river

   Bb                        F C
So freezing and pure

         Bb                  F C
Put your mind to the mountain

          Bb                 F C
And we'll push a way through
[Chorus]
Bb                                F C
And when there was a little less of you

      Bb               F C
And a little more of me

       Bb                   F C

Yeah I thought we were a river

        Bb               F C
Running out to the sea

         Bb                    F C
Put your hand on my chest now

Bb                             F C
Can you slow my heart beating?
[Chorus]
          Bb                         F C
And when there was a little less of me

      Bb                F C

Put my mind to the mountain

       Bb                             F C
FInd a fissure and push a way through
[Bridge]
Bb                      C
   Cos I am not a river

C
I am not the sea

          Gm
I am the land

That the river made out of me
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
       Bb                   F C
Oh and sometimes the river

      Bb             F C
Is a plentiful lake

          Bb             F C
Then the same conversation

        Bb               F C
And the levy does break

           Bb                             F C
But if you only ever think about the river

        Bb                           F C
If you only ever dwell upon that sea

        Bb
You may never see the beauty

           F   C
Of the tumbling scree
Bb F C
        Bb                   F     C
I won't lock my eyes on the river

       Bb                 F C
I will let it wash over me

        Bb                 F          C
I won't pin my fate to the scurrilous sea
Bb F C [Bridge]
Bb                      C
   Cos I am not a river

C
I am not the sea

          Gm
I am the land

               C              Bb
That the river made out of me

Bb                  C
I am not a river

C
I am not the sea

         Gm
I am the man that the river

C
made out of me

 Oh I'm not the sea

         Bb                  C F
I am the land that the river

    Bb              F C
has made out of me

     Bb             C F
Oh I am not a river

    Bb              C F
 Oh I'm not the sea

         Bb                  C F
