There Is A River Chords

[Intro]
           F                     C
There is a river that washes you clean
           F                                  C
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
                   Am                      D
Blood that was spilled, although not your own,
 
[Verse 1]
                 Am
For all of your tears
         F                         C
Are the wages for things you have done
                   Am
And all of those nights
        F                           G
Spent alone in the darkness of your mind
        F       Em  Am  Am/G
Give it up, Let go
          F                                G
These are things you were never meant to shoulder
 
[Chorus]
           F                     C
There is a river that washes you clean
           F                                  C
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
                   Am                      D
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
                  F                G
For all of those tears, love will atone
 
[Verse 2]
                  Am
So, give up the right
      F                                  C
To control the waves that empty out your life
             Am
Above wild skies
         F                               G
Are the rays that break the shadows we design
        F       Em  Am  Am/G
Give it up, Let go
          F                                C
These are things you were never meant to shoulder
        F       G
Give it up, let go
 
[Chorus]
           F                     C
There is a river that washes you clean
           F                                  C
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
                   Am                      D
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
                  F                 G
For all of these things, love will atone
 
[Bridge]
F                    Em                 Am
I know the world can turn in different ways
F                       Em               Am
Most of the time, we're simply hanging on
    F                  Em            Am
And under the signs of how we all behave
F                                   G
We might find the place where we belong

[Chorus]
           F                     C
There is a river that washes you clean
           F                                  C
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
                   Am                      D
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
                  F                 C
For all of these things, love will atone
                   F                         C
For all of those nights, that you cried all alone
                 F                Cmaj7
For all of your tears, love will atone
