Capo on 1st Fret

Intro:

C Em F (x3)
Am Em F

First Verse:
        C              Em
In the latest midnight hour
          F
When the world has gone to sleep
              C Em F
You gotta get up
      C              Em
When doubts begin to rise
         F
And the world is at your feet
              Am Em F
You gotta get up

Chorus:
C Em F                       C Em F
Reach,  It's not as bad as it seems
    C           Em F              Am Em
I cleanse in the river for somebody else,
     F
For anyone but myself


C Em F (x2)


Second Verse:
     C            Em
I'm not a selfless man
     F
I'm not a man of wealth
      C          Em
If I had all the world,
          F
Probably give it to myself
          C            Em
But the trees begin to walk
          F
And the ground begins to talk
         Am Em F
And myself


Chorus:
C Em F                       C Em F
Reach,  It's not as bad as it seems
    C           Em F              Am Em
I cleanse in the river for somebody else,
     F
For anyone but myself


Dm Am C (x2)

Bridge:
Dm  Am C
Hold my place
               G
Don't you give up on me

Hold on... Hold on


Chorus:
C Em F                       C Em F
Reach,  It's not as bad as it seems
    C           Em F              Am Em
I cleanse in the river for somebody else,
     F
For anyone but myself

C Em F                       C Em F
Reach,  It's not as bad as it seems
    C           Em F              Am Em
I cleanse in the river for somebody else,
     F
For anyone but myself
