[Verse 1]

                 D
These things you keep
                         G
You'd better throw them away
                    D
You wanna turn your back
                 G
On your soulless days
              D
Once you were tethered
                G
And now you are free
              D
Once you were tethered
                G
Well now you are free


[Chorus]

            D
That was the river
            G
This is the sea!
            D
That was the river
            G
This is the sea!


[Verse 2]

                      D
Now if you're feelin' weary
                         G
If you've been alone too long
                  D
Maybe you've been suffering from

A few too many
G
Plans that have gone wrong
                          D
And you're trying to remember
                   G
How fine your life used to b?
               D
Running around banging your drum
            G
Like it's 1973



[Chorus 2]

            D
That was the river
            G
This is the sea!
            D
That was the river
            G
This is the sea!


[Verse 3]

                       D
Now you say you've got trouble
                   G
You say you've got pain
               D
You say've got nothing to believe in

Nothing to hold on to

Nothing to trust
            G
Nothing but chains
                          D
You've been scouring your conscience
                        G
Raking through your memories
              D
Scouring your conscience
                        G
Raking through your memories



[Chorus 3]

            D
That was the river
            G
This is the sea!
            D
That was the river
            G
This is the sea!


[Verse 4]

                  D
Now I can see you wavering
                G
As you try to decide
                         D
You've got a war in your head
                        G
And it's tearing you up inside
                      D
You're trying to make sense
                      G
Of something that you just don't see
               D
Trying to make sense now
                      G
And you know you once held the key


[Chorus 4]

            D
That was the river
            G
This is the sea!
            D
That was the river
            G    D G D G D G
This is the sea! yeah


[Verse 5]

                     D
Now I hear there's a train
                        G
It's coming on down the line
                    D
It's yours if you hurry
                            G
You've got still enough time
D
And you don't need no ticket
G
And you don't pay no fee
D
I said you don't need no ticket
G
You don't pay no fee


[Chorus 5]

            D
Because that was the river
            G
This is the sea!
            D
That was the river
            G
This is the sea!



             D
That was the river
                G
And this is the sea
             D
That was the river
                G
And this is the sea

This is the sea
            D
This is the sea
                    G
I said, this is the sea
             D
That was the river
                G
And this is the sea

Oh
             D
That was the river
                     G
Yes, and this is the sea
            D
This is the sea
            G
This is the sea
            D
This is the sea
             G
That was the river
                D   G
And this is the sea
           D
Behold the sea
