Chords
Play the chords Fmaj7/G and C with pinky finger on the 3rd fret of high e string.
The almost constant G note gives the song its mellow feel.
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7/G C These things you keep Fmaj7 You better throw them away C You wanna Tturn your back Fmaj7/G On your soulless days C Once you were tethered Fmaj7/G Now you are free G Dm Once you were tethered G Now you are free
[Chorus]
G Dm That was the river (pause) C This is the sea
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7/G C If you're feeling weary Fmaj7/G Maybe been alone too long C Or else you've been suffering from Fmaj7/G A few too many plans that have gone wrong C And you're trying to remember Fmaj7/G How fine your life used to be G Dm Running around banging your drum G Like it's nineteen-seventy-three
[Chorus]
G Dm Well that was the river (pause) C This is the sea
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7/G C You say you've got trouble Fmaj7/G You say you've got pain C You say you've got nothin' to hold on to Fmaj7/G Nothing to trust, nothing but chains C You've been scouring your conscience Fmaj7/G And raking through your memory G Dm Scouring your conscience G And raking through your memory
[Chorus]
G Dm But that was the river (pause) C This is the sea
[Verse 4]
Fmaj7/G C I can see you wavering Fmaj7/G As you try to decide C You've got a war in your head Fmaj7/G And it's tearing you up inside C You're trying to make sense Fmaj7/G Of something that you just don't see G Dm You're trying to make sense now G And you know you once held the key
[Chorus]
G Dm But that was the river (pause) C This is the sea
[Verse 5]
Fmaj7/G C Now I hear there's a train Fmaj7/G It's coming down the line C It's yours if you hurry Fmaj7/G You've got still enough time C 'cause you've already got a ticket Fmaj7/G And you paid your fee G Dm You already got a ticket G You already paid your fee
[Chorus]
G Dm That was the river (pause) C This is the sea
