Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
There [Am]is a r[F]iver that washes y[C]ou clean
There is [F]a tree that marks
the places you've [C]been
Blood that was [Am]spilled,
although not your [D]own...

[Verse 2]
For [D]all of your [Am]tears
Are the [F]wages for things you [C]have done
On all of those [Am]nights,
spent [F]alone in the darkness of your [G]mind
Give it up[F], let g[Em]o. Th[Am]ese are things[F]
you were never meant [G]to shoulder

[Verse 3]
[G]There is a [F]river that washes you [C]clean
There is a [F]tree that marks
the places you've [C]been
Blood that was [Am]spilled,
although not your [D]own
For all of your [F]tears, love will atone
[G]

[Verse 4]
So, give up the right,
[Am]to control[F] the waves that empty at your [C]life
Above wild [Am]skies,
are the [F]rays that break the shadows we design
[G]

[Verse 5]
Give it [F]up, let [Em]go. [Am]These are thing[F]s
you were never meant [C]to shoulder
Give it [F]up, let [G]go...

[Verse 6]
[G]There is a [F]river that washes you [C]clean
There is a [F]tree that marks the
places you've [C]been
Blood that was [Am]spilled,
although not your [D]own
For all of these [F]things, love will atone
[G]

[Verse 7]
[F]I know the world can t[Em]urn
in different [Am]ways
[F]Most of the time we're simply
[Em]hangin' on[Am]
[F]But under the signs of
[Em]how we all beh[Am]ave
[F]We might find the place

[Interlude 1]
where we belong...
[G][F]
[Em][Am][F][Em][Am][F]
[Em][Am][F][G]

[Verse 8]
[G]There
is a [F]river that washes you [C]clean
There is a [F]tree that marks the
places you've [C]been
Blood that was [Am]spilled,
although not your [D]own
For all of these [F]things, love will [C]atone
For all of those [F]nights,
you cried all [C]alone
For all of your [F]tears...love will [C]atone
