Intro: Am Dm F Am
Am
Oh the river, oh the river, it's running free.
And oh the joy, oh the joy it brings to me.
Dm F G
But I know it'll have to drown me,
Am
Before it can breathe easy.
Am
And I've seen it in the flights of birds, I've seen it in you
the entrails of the animals the blood running through.
Dm F
But in order to get to the heart,
G Am
I think sometimes you'll have to cut through.
But you can't...
Dm F Am
We will carry...
We will carry you there...
F
Just keep following!
C G
The heartlines on your head!
F
Just keep following!
C G
The heartlines on your head!
F C
Keep it up!
G
I know you can!
F
Just keep following!
C G
The heartlines on your head!
Am
Cause I am...
On the sea, on the sea and land over land.
Creeping and crawling like the sea over sand.
Still I follow heartlines on your head.
And this fantasy, this fallacy, this tumbling stone.
Echoes of a city that's long overgrown.
Your heart is the only place that I call home,
Can I be returned?
You can...
We can...
I know you can...
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your head!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your head!
Keep it up!
I know you can!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your head!
F C G
What a thing to do...
Oooh
What a thing to choose...
But know, in some way I'm there with you.
Up against the wall on a Wednesday afternoon.
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your head!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your head!
Keep it up!
I know you can!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your head!
Cause I am.
