Standard (EADGBE)

 Im going down to the riverbank this morning

 Way before the family is awake

 Gonna lay me down at the foot of the water

 And spill out all my troubles for everyones sake

 You cant have love when you never can surrender

 Ive been spreading around my anger like a plague

 Ive sailed this far with my boat on fire

 Fighting flames each day, too stubborn to expire

 I will soak my soul

 Let the river take control

 Let the river take control

 I know its not too late

 To let go the weight

 To let go the weight

The sun will rise and shine on me this morning

It will seep its way into my heart

And untie all the knots that have hardened me through the years

And Ill embrace wisdom that sun will impart

And with this heat burning inside me

I will warm all of the people that I love

In their darkest of hours and weakest of minds

Ill light up their nights with every star I can find

I will soak my soul

Let the river take control

Let the river take control

I know its not too late

To let go the weight

To let go the weight
