The Weight

Im goi[Am]ng down to the riverbank this mor[C]ning
W[F]ay before the[C] family is awa[G]ke
Gon[Am]na lay me down at the foot of the w[C]ater
An[F]d spill out all my trou[C]bles for ever[G]yones sa[Am]ke

You[Am] cant have love when you never can surr[C]ender
Ive[F] been spreading around my ang[C]er like a plag[G]ue
Ive[F] sailed this far with my boat on f[G]ire
Fi[F]ghting flames each day, too stubbo[G]rn to ex[E]pire

I[Am] will soak my s[C]oul
Le[C]t the river take con[G]trol
L[G]et the river take con[G]trol

I[Am] know its not too lat[C]e
T[C]o let go the weigh[G]t
T[G]o let go the weig[Am]ht

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
