 River's edge,  so quiet  and full  of potential
 With weeping  trees  and just enough nightfall
 To cover  up the strays
 I can hear  boats in the distance
 Making saviours  out of ordinary people
 Now they sing  in a symphony  of keepers
 And they hail  in the harmony  of saviours
 You've got to live,  live, live, and love,  love, love
 Whether you like  it or not, I will love  you
 Now the wind  picks up swiftly  and suddenly
 And it's breathing  as if  from a mouth
 And the edges  are lungs  that are heaving
 And it's breathing  now without  my help
 And we turn  against the darkness  with intention
 River's edge,  you're all  that I have
 And a night filled with promises
 And just  enough nightfall  to cover up the strays
 Now the river's  like horses  unbroken
 And it really  is time  for a change
 And it moves  and connects  with a uniform
 And the bodies  return  to their makers
 And it's good  and it's true,  let it wash  over you
 Untethered  and without  a reason

[D]  [C]  [G]

River's [D]edge, so [C]quiet and ful[G]l of potential [D]
With [C]weeping trees[G] and just enough [D]nightfall
To [C]cover up the strays [G]        [D]
I can [D]hear boats in the [C]distance
Making [G]saviours out of ordinary people  [D]

Now they [C]sing in a [G]symphony of [D]keepers
And they [C]hail in the [G]harmony of [D]saviours

You've got to [D]live, live, live, and [C]love, love, love
Whether you [G]like it or not, I will [D]love you

Now the [C]wind picks up [G]swiftly and [D]suddenly
And it's [C]breathing as [G]if from a [D]mouth
And the [C]edges are [G]lungs that are [D]heaving
And it's [C]breathing now [G]without my [D]help
And we [C]turn against the [G]darkness with [D]intention

River's [D]edge, you're [C]all that I have  [G]
And a night filled with [D]promises
And [C]just enough nightfall[G] to cover up the [D]strays

Now the [C]river's like [G]horses unbr[D]oken
And it [C]really is [G]time for a [D]change
And it [C]moves and [G]connects with a [D]uniform
And the [C]bodies retu[G]rn to their [D]makers
And it's [C]good and it's [G]true, let it w[D]ash over you
Unte[C]thered and [G]without a [D]reason

[D]    [C]    [G]
