           Am         C/G     F         C/G
If only my feet could fall as fast as a heart does
F          C/G     G
I would be so long gone

I can't get up

           Am     C/G    F            C/G
But I have fallen on the bank of this river
F  C/G       G
 I can't get up

Verse 3:

           Am          C/G     F       C/G
If only my heart could speak into this river
F         C/G      G
And you'd drink me up
           Am      C/G       F        C/G
I could be free of all these lonesome shivers
F       C/G         G
I could give myself up


Chorus 3:

             Am C/G Am C/G  Am   C/G         G
(Give myself up,    up,     I'll give myself up)
             We all go back to the river    We will all come undone

             Am C/G Am C/G  Am   C/G         G
(Give myself up,    up,     I'll give myself up)
             And there you will be, my love, with the faintest touch
G
And I'll give myself up


Outro:
            Am C/G Am C/G  Am   C/G         G
Give myself up,    up,     I'll give myself up

Give myself up,    up,     I'll give myself up
