Verse 

Em                  Am 
You were the first, you wouldn't be the last 
Em                   Am 
What the river took, we could never replace 
F                      D  
And as the pain set in so did the realisation 
Am                    C 
You were never coming home 
F             D 
For nights we lay awake 
Am                   C 
Wishing for answers, hoping against all hope 
F                  D 
And if love could change the course of fate 
Am            C 
These nights, we move mountains 
F                        D              Am 
But as the news filtered down the line, the impact shook us 
C 
Shook us to the core 
F           D                Am         C 
Loss struck like a dagger in our aching hearts 


                F          D 
So follow your heart to the water 
Am                     C 
Fill your pockets with stone 
F          D           Am 
Throw your arms around me 
C 
Never let me go

Verse 

Am                         Em 
It's not the years in your life, 
Am                         Em 
It's not the years in your life, 
Am                         F 
It's not the years in your life, 
D                     C 
it's the life in your years 

F         D 
Old soul, so it's said 
Am                     C 
The day we lost is the day I found regret 
F                 D 
Not in the waters that embraced you 
Am                   C 
But in the wake your absence left 


Am C         G 
   Sink into me 
Am C         G 
   Sink into me

Hold out your hands, surrender the weight of this world
