[Intro] F G Am F G Em F G Am F [Chorus] C F D Am C F D Am Em
                F          D
Follow your heart to the water

Am                     C
Fill your pockets with stone

F          D           Am
Throw your arms around me

C
Never let me go
[Verse]
Em                  Am
You were the first, you wouldn't be the last

Em                   Am
What the river took, we could never replace

F                      D 
And as the pain set in so did the realisation

Am                    C
You were never coming home

F             D
For nights we lay awake

Am                   C
Wishing for answers, hoping against all hope

F                  D
And if love could change the course of fate

Am            C
These nights, we move mountains

F                        D              Am
But as the news filtered down the line, the impact shook us

C
Shook us to the core

F           D                Am         C
Loss struck like a dagger in our aching hearts
[Chorus]
                F          D
So follow your heart to the water

Am                     C
Fill your pockets with stone

F          D           Am
Throw your arms around me

C
Never let me go
C F D C F G C F D C F G [Verse]
Am                         Em
It's not the years in your life,

Am                         Em
It's not the years in your life,

Am                         F
It's not the years in your life,

D                     C
it's the life in your years

F         D
Old soul, so it's said

Am                     C
The day we lost is the day I found regret

F                 D
Not in the waters that embraced you

Am                   C
But in the wake your absence left

Am C         G
   Sink into me

Am C         G
   Sink into me
[Outro] F Am C D Am D F C G Am
F             G      Am
Hold out your hands, sink into me

F             Em     Am                Em
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away

F             G      Am          Em    Am
Hold out your hands, sink into me

F                    G                Am
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away

Am                   C    Am   G
Hold out your hands, sink into me

Am                   C             G
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away

F                    G
Hold out your hands, sink into me

Am                   C
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away

F                    G             Am             C
Hold out your hands, surrender the weight of this world
[Chorus]
                F          D
Follow your heart to the water

Am                     C
Fill your pockets with stone

                F          G
Follow your heart to the water

Am                     C
Fill your pockets with stone

Throw your arms around me

Never let me go
