Verse:

E minorEm         A minorAm
You were the first, you wouldn't be the last

What the river took, we could never replace

A minorAm          C majorC
You were never coming home

For nights we lay awake
A minorAm          C majorC
Wishing for answers, hoping against all hope

A minorAm      C majorC
These nights, we move mountains
FF            D MajorD       A minorAm
But as the news filtered down the line, the impact shook us
C majorC
Shook us to the core
FF      D MajorD        A minorAm     C majorC
Loss struck like a dagger in our aching hearts

Throw your arms around me
C majorC
Never let me go

It's not the years in your life,

it's the life in your years

FF     D MajorD
Old soul, so it's said
A minorAm           C majorC
The day we lost is the day I found regret
FF         D MajorD
Not in the waters that embraced you
A minorAm          C majorC

  Sink into me
