Intro: G  F  E  F 


[Verso 1]

G                   
Always thought I'd 
            F 
Cross that river 
E              
The other side 
         F 
Distant now 
G                
As I got close it 
            F 
Turned and widened 
 E                   F 
Horizon now, fading out 

  C 
Drifting in the undertow 
        F 
Can't spot a figure on dry land 
 C 
And afterthoughts of safety 
          F 
When in truth, none to be had 
            G  F  E  F 
None to be had 


[Verso 2]

G                     
I used to tell time 
        F 
By my shadow 
E                     
'Til the thunderclouds 
             F 
They took the stage 
  G                   
These days will end as 
        F 
Do the lights rays 
E                   
Another read of the 
      F 
Same page 

 C 
Wide awake through 

This deepest night 
 F 
Still waiting on the sun 
        C 
As the hours seem to multiple 
         F 
Find a star to solider on 

 C 
Living beneath a Lions paw 
         F 
Knowing nothing can be tamed 
        G   F  E  F 
Can be tamed 


[Verso 3]

G                            F 
I want this dream to last forever 
E                           F 
A wish denied to lengthen our time 
G                           F 
I wish this moment was neverending 
E                             F 
Let it be a lie that all futures die 

           C 
While the government 

Thrives on discontent 
      F 
And there's no such thing as clear 
    C 
Proselytizing and profitizing 
        F 
As our will all but disappears 
 C 
Folded over, forced in a choke hold 
       F 
Outnumbered and held down 

          C 
And all these talk of rapture 
        F 
Look around at the promise now 
          G 
Here and now 
        F 
Here and now 
            E 
Can't hold me down 
          F        G  F 
Can't hold me down 
           E 
Won't hold us down 
           F 
Won't hold us down 


[Ponte]

         G 
Live it out 

Let it out 
        F 
Get it out 

Shout it out 
       E 
Won't hold us down 
       F       G 
Won't hold us down
