[Verse 1]
F                   C
   These things you keep
F                        C
   You better throw them away
F                       C
   You wanna turn your back
F                   C
   On your soulless days
F                  Dm
   Once you were tethered
Dm7               G
   Now you are free
 
 
[Chorus]
G           Dm
That was the river
F (pause)     C
   This is the sea
 
F   C   F   C
 
[Verse 2]
F                   C
   If you're feeling weary
F                       C
   Maybe been alone too long
F                     C
   Or else you've been suffering from
F                                C
   too many plans that have gone wrong
F                        Dm
   And you're trying to remember
Dm7                          G
   How fine your life used to be
                             Dm
   Running around banging your drum
Dm7                             G
   Like it's nineteen-seventy-three
 
 
[Chorus]
G                 Dm
Well that was the river
F (pause)     C
   This is the sea
 
F   C   F   C
 
[Verse 3]
F                     C
   You say you've got trouble
F                     C
   You say you've got pain
F                               C
   You say you've got nothin' to hold on to
F                               C
   Nothing to trust, nothing but chains
F                          Dm
You've been scouring your conscience
Dm7                           G
   And raking through your memory
G                 Dm
   Scouring your conscience
Dm7                         G
   And raking through your memory
 
 
[Chorus]
G                Dm
But that was the river
F (pause)      C
   This is the sea
 
F   C   F   C
 
[Verse 4]
F                 C
   I can see you wavering
F                C
   As you try to decide
F                         C
   You've got a war in your head
F                        C
   And it's tearing you up inside
F                        Dm
   You're trying to make sense
Dm7                             G
   Of something that you just don't see
                         Dm
   You're trying to make sense now
Dm7                               G
   And you know you once held the key
 
 
[Chorus]
G                 Dm
But that was the river
F (pause)      C
   This is the sea
 
F  C   F   C
 
[Verse 5]
F                     C
   Now I hear there's a train
F                     C
   It's coming down the line
F                  C
   It's yours if you hurry
F                           C
   You've got still enough time
F                            Dm
   'cause you've already got a ticket
Dm7                  G
   And you paid your fee
G                    Dm
   You already got a ticket
Dm7                     G
   You already paid your fee
 
 
[Chorus]
G              Dm
That was the river
Dm7             G
   This is the sea
G              Dm
That was the river
Dm7             G
   This is the sea
G              Dm
That was the river
F (pauze)     C
   This is the sea
F             C
   This is the sea
