Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


Intro:
G F Em F

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
Em                     F

{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
