F D
Follow your heart to the water
Am C
Fill your pockets with stone
F D Am
Throw your arms around me

Never let me go

[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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

F Am C D Am D

Hold out your hands, sink into me
F Em Am Em
Hold out your hands, I’ll take you away

Hold out your hands, sink into me

Hold out your hands, I’ll take you away

Am C Am G
Hold out your hands, sink into me
Am C G
Hold out your hands, I’ll take you away

F G
Hold out your hands, sink into me
Am C
Hold out your hands, I’ll take you away
F G Am C
Hold out your hands, surrender the weight of this world

[Chorus]

Follow your heart to the water
Am C
Fill your pockets with stone

Throw your arms around me

Follow your heart to the water

Fill your pockets with stone

Throw your arms around me
