Dm Gm C
ooh
[Verse 1]
Bb F C
Oh I thought we were a river
Bb F C
So freezing and pure
Bb F C
Put your mind to the mountain
Bb F C
And we'll push a way through
[Chorus]
Bb F C
And when there was a little less of you
Bb F C
And a little more of me
Bb F C
Put my mind to the mountain
Bb F C
I will carry us to the sea
[Instrumental]
Bb F C
ooh
Bb F C
ooh
Bb F C
ohh
Dm Gm C
ooh
[Verse]
Bb F C
Yeah I thought we were a river
Bb F C
Running out to the sea
Bb F C
Put your hand on my chest now
Bb F C
Can you slow my heart beating?
[Chorus]
Bb F C
And when there was a little less of me
Bb F C
And a little more of you
Bb F C
Put my mind to the mountain
Bb F C
FInd a fissure and push a way through
[Bridge]
Bb C
Cos I am not a river
C
I am not the sea
Gm
I am the land
C
That the river made out of me
[Instrumental]
Bb F C
ooh
Bb F C
ooh
Bb F C
ohh
Dm Gm C
ooh
[Verse 2]
Bb F C
Oh and sometimes the river
Bb F C
Is a plentiful lake
Bb F C
Then the same conversation
Bb F C
And the levy does break
Bb F C
But if you only ever think about the river
Bb F C
If you only ever dwell upon that sea
Bb
You may never see the beauty
F C
Of the tumbling scree
Bb F C
Bb F C
I won't lock my eyes on the river
Bb F C
I will let it wash over me
Bb F C
I won't pin my fate to the scurrilous sea
Bb F C
[Bridge]
Bb C
Cos I am not a river
C
I am not the sea
Gm
I am the land
C Bb
That the river made out of me
Bb C
I am not a river
C
I am not the sea
Gm
I am the man that the river
C
made out of me
[Instrumental]

Oh I am not a river
Bb C F
Oh I'm not the sea
Bb C F
I am the land that the river
Bb F C
has made out of me
Bb C F
Oh I am not a river
Bb C F
Oh I'm not the sea
Bb C F
I am the man that the river
Bb F C
has made out of me
