[Verse 1]
 
  C      Csus2         F/C      C
I always cry, on the train back home
             C         Csus2  F/C      C
Watchin' the world outside, I used to know
          F
Soon as I get there
              C     Csus2  C   F/C    C
I have to go
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
        C         Csus2           F/C           C
And the years go by, don't even know where I've been
       C           Csus2         F/C         C
In the blink of an eye, could've all been a dream
               F
But I have to find somewhere
               C   Csus2  C   F/C  C
To call my own
           F
Soon as I get there
          Gsus4   G
I have to go
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C          F      Gsus4    G         C     C/B
  With two hands, meant to shape the land
              Am        F              Gsus4    G
  Just like a river does,  just like a river does
Am            F             Gsus4   G    C
  Another day breaks, and I have to go away
   C/B        Am       F
  Gone like a river does
                   Gsus4      G
  All alone like a river does
 
  C     Csus2  C   F/C     C
| /   /   /   /  | /   /   /   /  |x2
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
       C             Csus2    C     F/C        C
And my landscape has changed, since last I was here
C           Csus2 C  F/C       C
Some people stay and some disappear
                  F
But I'll always remember
                 C    Csus2  C    F/C    C

This part of me
                   F
And I can't help but wonder
               Gsus4   G
How I'll ever leave
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C          F      Gsus4    G         C     C/B
  With two hands, meant to shape the land
              Am        F              Gsus4    G
  Just like a river does,  just like a river does
Am            F             Gsus4   G    C
  Another day breaks, and I have to go away
   C/B        Am       F
  Gone like a river does
                   Gsus4      G
  All alone like a river does
 
  C       F        Gsus4   G

[Bridge]
 
Am       F       Gsus4  G
Woah, oh-oh, oh
       C   F      Gsus4  G
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Am        F        Gsus4  G
Ooh, ooh-ooh, woo-ooh
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C          F      Gsus4    G         C     C/B
  With two hands, meant to shape the land
              Am        F              Gsus4    G
  Just like a river does,  just like a river does
Am            F             Gsus4   G    C
  Another day breaks, and I have to go away
   C/B        Am       F
  Gone like a river does
                   Gsus4      G
  All alone like a river does
 
 
[Outro]
 
     C           Csus2       F/C         C
So I bottle the sound of the wind in the trees
           C           Csus2  F/C         C
Follow the salt in the air,   down to the sea
            F
Just like a river does
                C
Just like a river does
