* *
NOTE: See below to see how to play the A, F#m.
They really are an Aadd9/E , F#m7/11/E.
I didn't put them that way so as not to
clutter the chord tab. But do play them that
way if you want to. Either way works.
Play the VERSE like this:
If you notice you are basically sliding down holding
the same strings for the Emaj7, F#m7/11/E, and E chords.

ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Let's go down 2 the holy river
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
If we drown then we'll be delivered
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
U can still see the picture upon the wall
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
One eye staring at nothing at all
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
The other one trying 2 focus through all your tears
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
U can try and try but there's nothin' 2 hide
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
U can't run from yourself and what's inside
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
U got 2 find the answers 2 the questions that U most fear
BREAK:
ch]D[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
So over and over U ask your soul
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Why'd U come down 2 a world so cold?
ch]D[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And the voice inside says 2night the truth will be told
VERSE:
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
U surrounded yourself with all the wrong faces
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Spending your time in all the wrong places
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Puttin' your faith in things that only make U cry
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
People say they love U when they wanna help
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
But how can they when U can't help yourself?
ch]A[/ch
The more they say they love U,
ch]Emaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
The more U just wanna die
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
So here we go again, the self analysis
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Have another glass of Port and uh.. forget this
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
The band's playin' at the club 2 night
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And they're bound 2 groove
BREAK:
ch]D[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
There U are, U think U're high
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
U can't ask yourself cuz U'd only lie
ch]D[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
If U had a dollar 4 every time U tried
VERSE:
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
U can't call nobody cuz they'll tell U straight up
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Come and make love when U really hate 'em
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Relationships based on the physical are over and done
VERSE::
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
They're over and done oooh ooooh
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
(They're over and done) oooh oooh
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
U'd rather have fun oooh oooh
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
With only one,
ch]A[/ch
With only one
ch]Emaj7[/ch
Only one
ch]F#m[/ch
Only one
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
One
VERSE:
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
And then it hit 'cha like a fist on a wall
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Who gave U life when there was none at all?
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
Who gave the sun permission 2 rise up everyday? (Ooh,alright)
ch]E[/ch
Let me tell it (Go'n)
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
If U ask God 2 love U longer
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Every breath U take will make U stronger
ch]A[/ch
Keepin' U happy (happy)
ch]Emaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
And proud 2 call His name (Go'n and say it)
ch]E[/ch
Jesus (Jesus)
BREAK:
ch]D[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
And over and over U ask your soul
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Why'd U come down 2 a world so cold?
ch]D[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
And the voice inside said 2night the truth will be told
ch]E[/ch
And this time I was listening, hear me
VERSE:
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
Let's go down 2 the holy river
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
If we drown then we'll be delivered (Yes we will)
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
If we don't then we'll never see the light (No-oh)
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
If U die before U try
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
U'll have 2 come back and face the light (Oh yes)
ch]A[/ch
When U believe it,
ch]Emaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
U got a good reason 2 cry (Oh my, my)
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
So, went on down 2 the holy river
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I called my girl and told her I had something 2 give her
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
I asked her 2 marry me and she said yes, I cried
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
Oh, that night I drowned in her tears and mine
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And.. and instead of a glass of sorrow oh, and wine
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Looking back y'all, I don't miss nothing except the time
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch
And when I see that picture up on the wall
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
The one eye staring at nothing at all
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Emaj7[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
My eyes trying 2 focus but these are much different tears
ch]E[/ch
Oh, yes they are
ONE STRUM - LET RING - Then sing ACAPELLA
