[Verse 1]
D
These things you keep
G
You'd better throw them away
D
You wanna turn your back
G
On your soulless days
D
Once you were tethered
G
And now you are free
D
Once you were tethered
G
Well now you are free
[Chorus]
D
That was the river
G
This is the sea!
D
That was the river
G
This is the sea!
[Verse 2]
D
Now if you're feelin' weary
G
If you've been alone too long
D
Maybe you've been suffering from
A few too many
G
Plans that have gone wrong
D
And you're trying to remember
G
How fine your life used to b?
D
Running around banging your drum
G
Like it's 1973
[Chorus 2]
D
That was the river
G
This is the sea!
D
That was the river
G
This is the sea!
[Verse 3]
D
Now you say you've got trouble
G
You say you've got pain
D
You say've got nothing to believe in
Nothing to hold on to
Nothing to trust
G
Nothing but chains
D
You've been scouring your conscience
G
Raking through your memories
D
Scouring your conscience
G
Raking through your memories
[Chorus 3]
D
That was the river
G
This is the sea!
D
That was the river
G
This is the sea!
[Verse 4]
D
Now I can see you wavering
G
As you try to decide
D
You've got a war in your head
G
And it's tearing you up inside
D
You're trying to make sense
G
Of something that you just don't see
D
Trying to make sense now
G
And you know you once held the key
[Chorus 4]
D
That was the river
G
This is the sea!
D
That was the river
G D G D G D G
This is the sea! yeah
[Verse 5]
D
Now I hear there's a train
G
It's coming on down the line
D
It's yours if you hurry
G
You've got still enough time
D
And you don't need no ticket
G
And you don't pay no fee
D
I said you don't need no ticket
G
You don't pay no fee
[Chorus 5]
D
Because that was the river
G
This is the sea!
D
That was the river
G
This is the sea!
D
That was the river
G
And this is the sea
D
That was the river
G
And this is the sea
This is the sea
D
This is the sea
G
I said, this is the sea
D
That was the river
G
And this is the sea
Oh
D
That was the river
G
Yes, and this is the sea
D
This is the sea
G
This is the sea
D
This is the sea
G
That was the river
D G
And this is the sea
D
Behold the sea
