Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Across  that river
 Thru the orange  squares of light
Past  the streetlamps
 Like a beacon  in the rain
You've  stopped  in all this motion
 You're heavy  with news  too sudden
 You're  breathing through  this undertow  of pain
 And  all your friends will gather  soon and you'll
Surface  then to bring  them through, you'll say,
It's  better this way,  and at least  we knew
 But this practice  in leaving,
 All these small  moves to grieving,
 Does it ever  really promise what's deserved?
 Cuz you wanna take  him in your  arms
 And carry  to the river
 Find the boy  he once was
 And row  him home
 You want a majesty  restored
 Find the place  where love was born
 And let him go
 And let him go
 Let him go
 same as verse 1):
 Many Sundays pass since the day of his first leaving
 And you've stopped asking for the role to be reversed
 With the grace that follows those who know what love is
 You held his hand and walked towards this strange rebirth
 And as the friends gather round to bear witness
 You struggle with the fight to find some peace, to make it worth it
Cuz  you wanna take  him in your arms
 And carry  to the river
 Find the boy  he once was
 And row  him  home
 You want a majesty  restored
 Find the place  where love was born
 And let him go
 And let him gooooo  (hoooooome)
 You wanna take  him in your  arms
 And carry  to the river
 Find the boy  he once was
 And row  him home
You  want  a majesty restored
 Find the  place where lo-ooooove....
Hoooooooooome....yeah
Oooh  hooooo
Yeah
