Let The River In

D Dmaj7 D A# D A# G Gm G

D                       A             D
You, beneath the bed, I know all your tricks

I've seen you watching
                        A#
I've seen you drifting away
                       C   Gm
I've seen you floating along
                    D
I've seen you disappear

Now, there ain't a cloud in sight

And through the snow and the branches

I can count all your teeth

Yeah I can count all your teeth
D
Now the bed's on fire and the ceiling's gone
                                     E       D
And your mom and dad still sing the same old song
                                   A       D
Don't scare me off now, I'm your only friend

Don't scare me off now, I'm your only friend

[Instrumental]

                           A#
But now you're drifting away
                      C G#
Now you're floating along
                       D
And soon you'll disappear

[Instrumental]

I closed my eyes and saw my father's sins
                        A          F#
They covered me like a second skin
    F#m                                 F# G
I peeled them off, and sure I bled a bit
                             A#          D
But now I'm free to sink my own damn ship
                                     D
I cut my branch down from my family tree
                               F#m
To start a fire in the living room
           G                               A#
Now the house is just ash, this time it's sink or swim
D
Let the river in
                            Em
If blood is thicker than water
      F#     F#m     D
Then let the river in
           G                          A#       D
We might drift a ways, but we've got thick skin
D
Let the river in

If blood is thicker than water

Then let the river in
          G                           Gm
We might drift a ways, but we'll find our way again
