INTRO: Am7 D G Em Am7 (repeat)
D
You keep closing your eyes
G
Trying to ignore it
D G
Hoping it’ll disappear
D G
Face to face with your own Goliath
D G
At least that’s how it looks from here
Am7
All the stones you can throw
D
Won’t scare it away
D
And pacing back and forth
G
Trying to think of something
D G
To get you to the other side
D
The path of your fear
G
Runs in all directions
D G
When you’re looking for a place to hide
Am7 D
But you know the one you’ve gotta take
Chorus
Am7 D G Em
There’s no way around a river, baby
Am7 D G
Wade on in the deep
Am7 D G Em
And when you can’t go any further
A
Hold on to me
G D
And if it pulls you under
G
I’ll be there too
Am7 D G Dsus4
There’s no way around a river, baby
D Am7 D G Em Am7
It’s just something you’ve gotta go through
D
The troubles you face
G
The wounds you’re protecting
D G
The sins that you wrestle with
D G
We all have our share we’d like to get over
D G
Sometimes there’s just no bridge
Am7 D
And the very thing that makes us afraid
Am7 D
Is just what we need to wash it away
Chorus
Am7 D G Em
There’s no way around a river, baby
Am7 D G
Wade on in the deep
Am7 D G Em
And when you can’t go any further
A
Hold on to me
G D
And if it pulls you under
G
I’ll be there too
Am7 D G Dsus4
There’s no way around a river, baby
D Am7 D G Em
It’s just something you’ve gotta go through
Am7 D G
That’s the way it is
A D G
So just wade on in
G Dsus4 D
I’ll see you on the other side
Am7 D G
No way around it
Am7 D G
Am7 D G
No way around a river, baby
A
Wade on in, wade on in
G D
And if it pulls you under
G
I’ll be there too
Am7 D G Dsus4
There’s no way around a river, baby
D
It’s just something you’ve gotta go through
Am7 D G Em Am7
Am7 D G Em G
Oh yes it is, yes it is
Am7 D G
Oh, no way around it
Em Am7
No way around a river, baby
Am7 D Em Am7
Wade on in, wade on in – yeah
