Verse:
                 E
These things you keep
                        A
You'd better throw 'em away
                    E
You wanna turn your back
                 A
On your soulless days
              E
Once you were tethered
                A
And now you are free
              E
Once you were tethered
                  A
Well, now you are free
             E
That was the river
            A    E  A
This is the sea

Verse:
                            E
Well, now if you're feelin' weary
                         A
If you've been alone too long
                        E
Well, maybe you've been suffering from
               A
A few too many plans that have gone wrong
                       E
And you're trying to remember
                           A
How fine your life used to be
                                E
Running around banging your drum
                                A
Like it's Nineteen Seventy-Three
                   E
Well, that was the river
                A    E  A
Ah, this is the sea

Verse:
                       E
Now you say you've got trouble
                   A
You say you've got pain
                           E
You say you've got nothing left to believe in
                                         A
Nothing to hold on to, nothing to trust, nothing but chains
                          E
You've been scouring your conscience
                          A
Raking through your memory
              E
Scouring your conscience
                          A
Raking through your memory
                 E
But that was the river
            A          E  A
This is the sea, yeah

Verse:
                  E
Now I can see you wavering
                A
As you try to decide
                         E
You've got a war in your head
                              A
And it's tearing you up inside
                           E
You're trying to make sense
                                 A
Of something that you just don't see
               E
Trying to make sense now
                                    A
And you know that you once held the key
                 E
But that was the river
                A
And this is the sea, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Verse:
                     E
Now I hear there's a train
                   A
Coming on down the line
                  E
It's yours if you hurry
                        A
You've got still enough time
                      E
And you don't need no ticket
                     A
And you don't pay no fee
                      E
No, you don't need no ticket
                 A
You don't pay no fee
                     E
Because that was the river
                A
And this is the sea

And this is the sea

Well, that was the river
            A
This is the sea
                   E
Well, that was the river
                     A
River, river, river, river, river, river
                E    A   E   A
And this is the sea
    E        A
The sea, hmm hmm

The sea, yeah
           E
Behold the sea
