           Am         C/G    F         C/G
If only my eyes could see as high as a mountain
F                C/G     G
Or wherever your heart's gone
           Am     C/G    F            C/G

F  C/G       G
 I can't get up

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