Tom: G
Am7 Am7*
The windows turned to fishbowls
D
The city to seas
G C* Cmaj7 Cmaj7/B-thing
The cars were drowning underneath your feet
Am7 Am7*
The children were swimming
D
From the top of the trees
G C* Cmaj7 Cmaj7/B-thing
Crowds of umbrellas were staring in misbelief
Am7 Am7*
Well mary kept sewing
D
Holding on to her TV
G C* Cmaj7 Cmaj7/B-thing
Even if the water was rising past her knees
[Chorus]
Am7 Am7*
Here comes the river
D
Coming on strong
G C* Cmaj7 Cmaj7/B-thing
And you can't keep your head above these troubled waters
Am7 Am7*
Here comes the river
D
Over the flames
G C
Sometimes you got to burn to keep the storm away
Am7
Sometimes
D
Sometimes you got to just

Am7
Nobody told you that
D
It was going to be this hard
G C
Something's been building behind your eyes
Am7
You lost what you hold onto
D
You're losing control
G C
There ain't any words in this world that's gonna cure this pain
Am7 D G
Sometimes it's going to fall down on your shoulders
C
But you're going to stand through it all
[Repeat Chorus]
Am7 Am7*
Here comes the river

Coming on strong

Sometimes you got to burn to keep the storm away
Am7
Sometimes

Sometimes you got to just
