                Patrick Watson - 
Here Comes The River

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
A                             D
Play a song, right, yep, yeah
 G C

[Verse 1]
Am
 The windows turned to 
fishbowls
D
  The city to seas
G                      
 The cars were 
            C        
drowning underneath 
Em Am
your feet
                 C       D
The children were swimming  
from the top of the trees

G                        
 Crowds of umbrellas 
               C      Em
were staring in misbelief
Am
    C                D
Well Mary kept sewing   holding
on to her tv
G                            
 Even if the water was 
 C             Em Am
rising past her knees

[Chorus]
    C         Am    D
Here comes the river   coming 
on strong
G                            
 But you can't keep your 
                        C   
head above these troubled 
Em
waters
Am                    D
 Here comes the river  over 
the flames
G                            
 Sometimes you got to burn 
                 C
to keep the storm away
         D
Sometimes,   sometimes you got 
to just

[Solo]
C  C  C  C   D  D  D  D
G  G  G  G   C  C  C  C

[Verse 2]
Am                D
 Nobody told you   that it 
was going to be this hard
G                         
 Something's been 
             C
building behind your eyes
Am                            
 You lost what you hold onto 
D
 you're losing control
G                             
 There ain't any words in 

this world that are going to 
C
cure this pain
Am          D                  
 Sometimes   it's going to 
                   G
fall down on your shoulders

But you're going to stand 
C
through it all

[Chorus]
Am                     D
 Here comes the river   
coming on strong
G                            
 And you can't keep your 
                        C
head above these troubled 
waters
Am                     D
 Here comes the river   over 
the flames
G                            
 Sometimes you got to burn 
                 C
to keep the storm away
          D       G
Sometimes,    you got to just

[Outro]
D   Am   D   A   G
C   Am   D   G   C
