Before The River Came

Fm(add9)  Fm     Db  Db

[Verse 1]
Fm(add9)        Fm                 Db      Db
 I've been looking at the past   hmmm
Fm(add9)         Fm                Db                Db
 I've wasted too much time on things that won't last
Fm(add9)         Fm                Db               Db
 I've built a kingdom out of rubble and sand,
      Ab             Eb/G          Fm
but I don't, I don't want to hold onto it all

[Bridge]
                 Dbmaj7
I'm ready for the river to run,
     Eb       Ebsus   Eb    Ebsus
and wash it away

[Chorus]
            Ab         Eb     Fm         Db
I'm singin' come sweet water, cleanse my soul,
Ab      Eb      Fm      Db
 shower me and make me whole
Ab       Eb        Fm       Db
 consume me with a healing flood
Bbm7                   Ebsus      Eb
 leave no traces of the man that I was
                 Fm(add9)    Fm   Db  Db
before the river came

[Verse 2]
Fm(add9)        Fm                Db         Db
 There's no freedom in the chains,  hmmm
Fm(add9)               Fm             Db                Db
 they'll hold you captive to the guilt of your stains
Fm(add9)          Fm              Db        Db
 one drop of water brings an ocean of change
       Ab      Eb/G        Fm(add9)
and I long, I long to move on from it all

[Bridge]
Fm7                 Bb9           Eb              Ab
   Baptize and then bury me until only You remain (come and rescue)
Fm7                     Bb9             Eb              Bb7     Ab
   I don't wanna be the man that I was, long before the river came.

[Chorus]
            F          C      Dm         Bb
I'm singin' come sweet water, cleanse my soul
F        C       Dm      Bb
  shower me and make me whole
F       C          Dm       Bb
 consume me with a healing flood
Gm7                      Csus      C
 leave no traces of the man that I was
                      Dm
before the river came.
