Am

[Verse 1]
                                     C
I'm going down to the riverbank this morning
F              C          G
Way before the family is awake
      Am                             C
Gonna lay me down at the foot of the water
    F                C            G          Am
And spill out all my troubles for everyone's sake


[Verse 2]
                                          C
You can't have love when you never can surrender
          F                   C            G
I've been spreading around my anger like a plague
       F                       D
I have sailed this far with my boat on fire
         F                    D               Em
Fighting flames each day, too stubborn to expire


{Chorus]
F              Am
I will soak my soul
                      G
Let the river take control
                  D
The river take control
      F                 Am
And I know it's not too late
              G
To let go the weight
              Am
To let go the weight


[Verse 3]
                                       C
The sun will rise and shine on me this morning
        F            C       G
It will seep its way into my heart
      Am                          C
And untie all the knots that have hardened me through the years
         F           C           G          Am
And I'll embrace the wisdom that sun will impart


[Verse 4]
                             C
And with this heat burning inside me
       F            C             G
I will warm all the people that I love
         F                     D
In their darkest hours and the weakest of minds
     F                                D             Em
I'll light up their nights with every star I can find__


{Chorus]
F              Am
I will soak my soul
                      G
Let the river take control
                  D
The river take control
      F                 Am
And I know it's not too late
              G
To let go the weight

To let go___


{Chorus]
    F              Am
Oh, I will soak my soul
                      G
Let the river take control
                  D
The river take control
      F                 Am
And I know it's not too late
              G
To let go the weight
              Am
To let go the weight
