River Cross

[Intro] G  F  E  F

[Primera Parte]

G                  
Always thought I’d
            F
Cross that river
E             
The other side
         F
Distant now
G               
As I got close it
            F
Turned and widened
 E                   F
Horizon now, fading out

  C
Drifting 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  E  F
None to be had

[Segunda Parte]

G                    
I used to tell time
        F
By my shadow
E                    
‘Til the thunderclouds
             F
They took the stage
  G                  
These days will end as
        F
Do the lights rays
E                  
Another read of the
      F
Same page

 C
Wide awake through

This deepest night
 F
Still waiting on the sun
        C
As the hours seem to multiple
         F
Find a star to solider on

 C
Living beneath a Lions paw
         F
Knowing nothing can be tamed
        G   F  E  F
Can be tamed

[Tercera Parte]

G                            F
I want this dream to last forever
E                           F
A wish denied to lengthen our time
G                           F
I wish this moment was neverending
E                             F
Let it be a lie that all futures die

           C
While the government

Thrives on discontent
      F
And there’s no such thing as clear
    C
Proselytizing and profitizing
        F
As our will all but disappears
 C
Folded over, forced in a choke hold
       F
Outnumbered and held down

          C
And all these talk of rapture
        F
Look around at the promise now
          G
Here and now
        F
Here and now
            E
Can’t hold me down
          F        G  F
Can’t hold me down
           E
Won’t hold us down
           F
Won’t hold us down

[Puente]

         G
Live it out

Let it out
        F
Get it out

Shout it out
       E
Won’t hold us down
       F       G
Won’t hold us down
