This song is pretty simple with only picking three chords and you can strum it if you
want. I put two parts to every chord, but I also heard another part on D. The last parts
on every chord are mostly meant to be played when the song gets more intense and higher.
It's a fun experimental song, try out different way to play it! :)

Intro: D, C, G
 
Verse 1:
D C G D
River's edge, so quiet and full of potential
C G D
With weeping trees and just enough nightfall
C G D
To cover up the strays
D C
I can hear boats in the distance
G D
Making saviours out of ordinary people
 
[Refrão] C G D
Now they sing in a symphony of keepers
C G D
And they hail in the harmony of saviours
 
Verse 2:
D C
You've got to live, live, live, and love, love, love
G D
Whether you like it or not, I will love you
 
[Refrão] C G D
Now the wind picks up swiftly and suddenly
C G D
And it's breathing as if from a mouth
C G D
And the edges are lungs that are heaving
C G D
And it's breathing now without my help
C G D
And we turn against the darkness with intention
 
Verse 3:
D C G
River's edge, you're all that I have
D
And a night filled with promises
C G D
And just enough nightfall to cover up the strays
 
[Refrão] C G D
Now the river's like horses unbroken
C G D
And it really is time for a change
C G D
And it moves and connects with a uniform
C G D
And the bodies return to their makers
C G D
And it's good and it's true, let it wash over you
C G D
Untethered and without a reason
 
D C G
