[Am] Oh the river, oh the river, it's running free
And oh the joy, oh the joy it brings to me
But I [Dm] know it'll have to [F] drown [G] me
[Am] Before it can breathe easy
And [Am] I've seen it in the flights of birds, I've seen it in you
The entrails of the animals the blood running through
But in [Dm] order to get to the [F] heart
I think [G] sometimes you'll [Am] have to cut through
But you can't
[Dm] We [F] will [Am] carry
We will carry you there
Just keep [F] following
The [C] heartlines on your [G] hand
Just keep [F] following
The [C] heartlines on your [G] hand
Keep [F] it [C] up
I know you [G] can
Just keep [F] following
The [C] heartlines on your [G] hand
Cause I [Am] am
[Am] [Dm] [F]
[Am] On the sea, on the sea and land over land
Creeping and crawling like the sea over sand
[Dm] Still I follow [F] heartlines on your [G] hand
And this [Am] fantasy, this fallacy, this tumbling stone
Echoes of a city that's long overgrown
your [Dm] heart is the only [F] place that [G] I call home
[Am] Can I be returned?
[Am] You can
[Am] We can
Just keep [F] following
The [C] heartlines on your [G] hand
Just keep [F] following
The [C] heartlines on your [G] hand
Keep [F] it [C] up
I know you [G] can
Just keep [F] following
The [C] heartlines on your [G] hand
[F] What a [C] thing to [G] do
Oh What a thing to choose
But know, in some way, I'm there with you
Up against the wall on a Wednesday [F] [C] [G] afternoon
Just keep [F] following
The [C] heartlines on your [G] hand
Keep [F] it [C] up
I know you [G] can
Just keep [F] following
The [C] heartlines on your [G] hand
Cause I am
