[Verse]
F# minorF#m        E MajorE  F# minorF#m         E MajorE
Talking makes us human that`s what I was told
   BB         E MajorE    F# minorF#m           E MajorE
So why do I find it so difficult to let my feelings unfold
 A augmentedA     E MajorE     C# minorC#m           BB  E MajorE
Had I the courage to tell you I`d promise you this


[Chorus]
             D2 D MajorD A4
If that`s what you need
 A augmentedA     A augmentedA   A2     A2    A augmentedA     E MajorE
I`ll be the river I`ll be the mountain always beside you
             D2 D MajorD D
If that`s what you need
 A augmentedA     A2   A2      A2    A augmentedA    E MajorE
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before

[Verse]
F# minorF#m        E MajorE  F# minorF#m         E MajorE
When you came along and turned it all around
  BB             E MajorE    F# minorF#m             E MajorE
I promised myself I wouldn`t tell you  Until we stood on solid ground
 A augmentedA           E MajorE   C# minorC#m       BB  E MajorE
Holding the candle between us I`ll tell you this


[Chorus]
             D2 D MajorD A4
If that`s what you need
 A augmentedA     A augmentedA   A2     A2    A augmentedA     E MajorE
I`ll be the river I`ll be the mountain always beside you
             D2 D MajorD D
If that`s what you need
 A augmentedA     A2   A2      A2    A augmentedA    E MajorE
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before


[Interlude]
C majorC         C6C6    C majorC   C6C6  C majorC
And if there`s any kind of danger
C majorC      C6C6      A augmentedA
I hear you calling out my name
C majorC         C6C6  C majorC    C6C6  C majorC
You can follow in my footsteps
C majorC          C majorC   Bm7Bm7  E MajorE
And I will lead you safely back again

[Verse]
F# minorF#m       E MajorE  F# minorF#m        E MajorE
I never understood you however hard I tried
  BB              E MajorE   F# minorF#m              E MajorE
But it took me a while until I realised  That all the problems were mine
 A augmentedA         E MajorE  C# minorC#m      BB  E MajorE
Holding you nearer to me to tell you this


[Outro]
             D2 D MajorD A4
If that`s what you need
 A augmentedA     A augmentedA   A2     A2    A augmentedA     E MajorE
I`ll be the river I`ll be the mountain always beside you
             D2 D MajorD D
If that`s what you need
 A augmentedA     A2   A2      A2    A augmentedA    E MajorE
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before
             D2 D MajorD A4
And when things go wrong
 A augmentedA     A augmentedA   A2     A2    A augmentedA     E MajorE
I`ll be your conscience there to remind you all of your life
             D2 D MajorD D
When you go wrong
 A augmentedA     A2   A2      A2    A augmentedA    E MajorE
I`ll be the reason you`ll be protected all of your days
