This song is pretty simple with only picking three chords and you can strum it if you
want. I put two parts to every chord, but I also heard another part on D. The last parts
on every chord are mostly meant to be played when the song gets more intense and higher.
It's a fun experimental song, try out different way to play it! :)

Intro: G

Verse 1:
        D
River's edge, so quiet and full of potential
     D
With weeping trees and just enough nightfall
   D
To cover up the strays
      C
I can hear boats in the distance
       D
Making saviours out of ordinary people

Chorus 1:
         D
Now they sing in a symphony of keepers
         D
And they hail in the harmony of saviours


Verse 2:
              C
You've got to live, live, live, and love, love, love
            D
Whether you like it or not, I will love you


Chorus 2:
        D
Now the wind picks up swiftly and suddenly
         D
And it's breathing as if from a mouth
        D
And the edges are lungs that are heaving
         D
And it's breathing now without my help
       D
And we turn against the darkness with intention


Verse 3:
        G
River's edge, you're all that I have
                        D
And a night filled with promises
    D
And just enough nightfall to cover up the strays


Chorus 4:
        D
Now the river's like horses unbroken
       D
And it really is time for a change
       D
And it moves and connects with a uniform
        D
And the bodies return to their makers
         D
And it's good and it's true, let it wash over you
    D
Untethered and without a reason

G
