Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
A augmentedA             B minorBm
All of my life, I've been asking the same things
   E7E7                 A augmentedA
And I still don't think I'm closer to an answer
A augmentedA            B minorBm
I'd build an ark at the first sighting of rain
    E7E7                 A augmentedA
But the sky just stays the same, and I feel landlocked by our conversation

E7E7    A augmentedA              E7E7    E MajorE         A augmentedA
I - can't tell the difference between stars and lights that I'm to follow. They all glow

 Chorus:
  B minorBm   E MajorE      B minorBm    E MajorE
So set my sails toward westward gales
  B minorBm          E MajorE       A augmentedA
And pray that love don't just blow one direction

 Verse 2:
A augmentedA          B minorBm
500 times I've asked you if you're still there
   E7E7               A augmentedA
And I never hear replies, yet somehow I'm still doing fine
A augmentedA            E7E7
If I find land, will I know if it was planned, or if it's all just happenstance?
      A augmentedA                 E7E7      A augmentedA
And will it matter as long as there is ground around for my feet?
           E MajorE      A augmentedA
If I head south, will that be here-sy?
 A augmentedA
No, I don't think so

 Chorus:
  B minorBm   E MajorE   B minorBm    E MajorE
So cast my fears away from piers
 B minorBm           E MajorE       A augmentedA
And pray that love don't just blow one direction

 [Instrumental}
B minorBm E MajorE B minorBm E MajorE A augmentedA

D MajorD             A augmentedA
Listen to the river, now - Listen to the river
E MajorE             A augmentedA
Listen to the river, now - Listen to the river
 Repeated:

When I woke up, you were standing on the opposite bank

And I saw that you never needed to be saved

And I know, I know, I know

That I've seen the light go out in so many friend's eyes

But the wind can't take the spark that settled inside

And I know, I know, I know we'll be alright
