INTRO: F5  F5     Db5  Db5 
VERSE 1 
F5        F5                 Db5      Db5    
 I've been looking at the past   hmmm 
F5         F5                Db5                Db5 
 I've wasted too much time on things that won't last 
F5         F5                Db5               Db5 
 I've built a kingdom out of rubble and sand, 
      Ab5             Eb5          F5    
but I don't, I don't want to hold onto it all 
 
BRIDGE: 
                 Db5  
I'm ready for the river to run, 
     Eb5       Eb5   Eb5    Eb5 
and wash it away 
 
Chorus: 
            Ab5         Eb5     F5         Db5 
I'm singin' come sweet water, cleanse my soul, 
Ab5      Eb5      F5      Db5 
 shower me and make me whole 
Ab5       Eb5        F5       Db5 
 consume me with a healing flood 
Bb5                   Eb5      Eb5               break 
 leave no traces of the man that I was 
                  F5   F5   Db5  Db5 
before the river came 
 
VERSE 2: 
F5         F5                Db5         Db5 
 There's no freedom in the chains,  hmmm 
F5               F5             Db5                Db5 
 they'll hold you captive to the guilt of your stains 
F5          F5              Db5        Db5 
 one drop of water brings an ocean of change 
       Ab5      Eb5        F5 
and I long, I long to move on from it all 
 
REPEAT BRIDGE AND Chorus 
 
SECOND BRIDGE: 
F5                 Bb5           Eb5              Ab5 
   Baptize and then bury me until only You remain (come and rescue) 
F5                     Bb5             Eb5              Bb5     Ab5 
   I don't wanna be the man that I was, long before the river came.

  shower me and make me whole 
F5       C5          D5       Bb5 
 consume me with a healing flood 
G5                      C5      C5

before the river came.
