Verse 1:
G F
Always thought I'd cross that river
Em F
The other side distant now
G F
As we got close it turned and widened
Em F
The horizon now, fading out
C
Drifting off in the undertow
F
Can't spot a figure on dry land
C
And afterthoughts of safety
F
When in truth, none to be had
G F
None to be had
Em F
ooooh
Verse 2:
G F
I used to tell time by my shadow
Em
Til the thunder clouds
F
They took the stage
G
These days will end,
F
as do the light's rays

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