this song is pretty simple with only picking three chords and you can strum it if you
want . i put two parts to every chord , but i also heard another part on D . the last parts
on every chord are mostly meant to be played when the song gets more intense and higher .
it’s a fun experimental song , try out different way to play it! : )

tuning : standard

intro : D , C , G

verse 1 :
D C G D
river’s edge , so quiet and full of potential
C G D
with weeping trees and just enough nightfall
C G D
to cover up the strays
D C
i can hear boats in the distance
G D
making saviours out of ordinary people

chorus 1 :
C G D
now they sing in a symphony of keepers
C G D
and they hail in the harmony of saviours

verse 2 :
D C
you’ve got to live , live , live , and love , love , love
G D
whether you like it or not , i will love you

chorus 2 :
C G D
now the wind picks up swiftly and suddenly
C G D
and it’s breathing as if from a mouth
C G D
and the edges are lungs that are heaving
C G D
and it’s breathing now without my help
C G D
and we turn against the darkness with intention

verse 3 :
D C G
river’s edge , you’re all that i have
D
and a night filled with promises
C G D
and just enough nightfall to cover up the strays

chorus 4 :
C G D
now the river’s like horses unbroken
C G D
and it really is time for a change
C G D
and it moves and connects with a uniform
C G D
and the bodies return to their makers
C G D
and it’s good and it’s true , let it wash over you
C G D
untethered and without a reason

D C G
