There is a river that washes you clean
           F                               C
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
                    Am                      D
Blood that was spilled, although not your own,

                   Am             F                     C
For all of your tears, are the wages for things you have done
C                    Am
And all of those nights
          F                           G
Spent alone in the darkness of your mind
F              Em   Am   G/A
Give it up, Let go
F                                    G
These are things you were never meant to shoulder

To control the waves that empty out your life
              Am
Above wild skies
          F                              G
Are the rays that break the shadows we design

      F      Em  Am  G/A
Give it up, let go

I know the world can turn in different ways
F                 Em               Am
Most of the time, we're simply hanging on
F                     Em         Am
And under the signs of how we all behave
F                                G
We might find the place where we belong
