Capo 1 (Original key of recording)
[Intro]
Em G Cadd9 (x2)
[Verse 1]
Em G Cadd9
Some days I can't say why I'm feeling lonely
Em G Cadd9
Some days I am too proud to ask for help
Em G
And I stumble through the noise
Cadd9
Trying to find some peace
Am7 Em7 D
A stranger in the crowd, I lose myself
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
So, I walk down to the river
Cadd9 G
Where the troubles, they can't find me
Cadd9 Em
Let the waters there remind me
D Bm
The sun will be there when we wake
Cadd9 G
I walk down to the river
Cadd9 G
Though I might not understand it
Cadd9 Em
It's not always as we planned it
D Bm
But we grow stronger when we break
( Em Cadd9 ) G D
So, I walk down - to the river
( Em Cadd9 ) G D
I walk down - to the river
[Verse 2]
Em G Cadd9
This raging world can get so overwhelming
Em G Cadd9
Looking for a meaning when it won't make sense
Em G
In my head its getting loud
Cadd9
Like i can't outrun this cloud
Am7 Em7 D
No matter where i go well there i am
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
So, I walk down to the river
Cadd9 G
Where the troubles, they can't find me
Cadd9 Em
Let the waters there remind me
D Bm
The sun will be there when we wake
Cadd9 G
I walk down to the river
Cadd9 G
Though I might not understand it
Cadd9 Em
It's not always as we planned it
D Bm
But we grow stronger when we break
( Em Cadd9 ) G D
So, I walk down - to the river
( Em Cadd9 ) G D
I walk down - to the river
[Bridge]
Dm
Let the calm pull me under
Am7
Far beyond the thunder
C G D
Tell me it will all be ok
Dm
Let the waves take all my worries
Am7
Conquer them with fury
C G D
Give me shelter, be my escape
[Chorus]

So, I walk down to the river

Where the troubles, they can't find me
