A5                               C5
Im going down to the riverbank this morning
 F5            C5             G5
Way before the family is awake
   A5                                 C5
Gonna lay me down at the foot of the water
  F5                      C5            G5       A5
And spill out all my troubles for everyones sake


   A5                                     C5
You cant have love when you never can surrender
   F5                            C5             G5
Ive been spreading around my anger like a plague
   F5                                 G5
Ive sailed this far with my boat on fire
  F5                                 G5       E5
Fighting flames each day, too stubborn to expire


 A5             C5
I will soak my soul
  C5                   G5
Let the river take control
 G5                    G5
Let the river take control

 A5                   C5
I know its not too late
 C5                 G5
To let go the weight
 G5                A5
To let go the weight


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
