[Verse 1]
Am7                            Am7*
The windows turned to fishbowls
D
 The city to seas
G                                C*        Cmaj7  Cmaj7/B-thing
 The cars were drowning underneath your feet
Am7                            Am7*
 The children were swimming
D
 From the top of the trees
G                                          C*        Cmaj7  Cmaj7/B-thing
 Crowds of umbrellas were staring in misbelief
Am7                            Am7*
 Well mary kept sewing
D
 Holding on to her TV
G                               C*         Cmaj7  Cmaj7/B-thing
 Even if the water was rising past her knees
 
 
[Chorus]
Am7                            Am7*
 Here comes the river
D
 Coming on strong
G                                          C*           Cmaj7  Cmaj7/B-thing
 And you can't keep your head above these troubled waters
Am7                            Am7*
 Here comes the river
D
 Over the flames
G                                       C
 Sometimes you got to burn to keep the storm away
Am7
 Sometimes
D
 Sometimes you got to just

Am7
 Nobody told you that
D
 It was going to be this hard
G                            C
 Something's been building behind your eyes
Am7
 You lost what you hold onto
D
 You're losing control
G                                                      C
 There ain't any words in this world that's gonna cure this pain
Am7       D                               G
Sometimes it's going to fall down on your shoulders
                    C
But you're going to stand through it all
 
 
[Repeat Chorus]
Am7                            Am7*
 Here comes the river
D
 Coming on strong
G                                          C*           Cmaj7  Cmaj7/B-thing
 And you can't keep your head above these troubled waters
Am7                            Am7*
 Here comes the river
D
 Over the flames
G                                       C
 Sometimes you got to burn to keep the storm away
Am7
 Sometimes
D
 Sometimes you got to just
