The Weight

Am

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


[Verse 2]
You can't have love when you never 
       C
can surrender
          F                   C   
I've been spreading around my 
         G
anger like a plague
       F                       D
I have sailed this far with my boat 
on fire
         F                   
Fighting flames each day, too 
 D               Em
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]
The sun will rise and shine on me 
     C
this morning
        F            C       G
It will seep its way into my heart
      Am                          
And untie all the knots that have 
C
hardened me through the years
         F           C           
And I'll embrace the wisdom that 
G          Am
sun will impart


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