Intro:
G+G FF E minorEm FF

Verse 1:
G+G                FF
 Always thought I'd cross that river
E minorEm            FF
 The other side distant now
G+G                FF
 As we got close it turned and widened
E minorEm            FF
 The horizon now, fading out
C majorC
Drifting off in the undertow
   FF
Can't spot a figure on dry land
  C majorC
And afterthoughts of safety
     FF
When in truth, none to be had
      G+G  FF
None to be had
E minorEm     FF
ooooh

Verse 2:
G+G              FF
 I used to tell time by my shadow
E minorEm
 Til the thunder clouds
       FF
They took the stage
G+G
 These days will end,
     FF
as do the light's rays
E minorEm           FF
 Another read of the same page

{Verse 3]
 C majorC
Wide awake through this deepest night
    FF
Still waiting on the sun
    C majorC
As the hours seem to multiply
    FF
Find a star to soldier on
  C majorC
Oh folded over forced in a chokehold
  FF
outnumbered and held down
    C majorC
as we fight with the invisible
     FF
for the future feel the promise now
       G+G
of here and now
     FF
here and now
    E minorEm
won't hold us down
     FF
won't hold us down
    G+G
let it out
G+G
shout it out
    FF
get it out
FF
get it out
    E minorEm
won't hold us down
    FF
won't hold us down
G+G
share the light
        FF
won't hold us down
FF
share the light
        E minorEm
won't hold us down
E minorEm
share the light
       FF
won't hold us down
      G+G
share the light
