Pearl Jam - River cross

^GAlways thought I’d cross that r^Fiver ^EmThe other side, distant^F now ^GAs I got close it turned and ^Fwidened ^EmHorizon now, fading ^Fout

^CDrifting in the undertow Can’t s^Fpot a figure on dry land A^C/End afterthoughts of safety When in tr^Futh, none to be had,... None to be h^Gad ^{F Em F}

^GI used to tell time by my sh^Fadow ^Em‘Til the thunderclouds, they took the^F stage ^GThese days will end as do the l^Fights rays ^EmAnother read of the same p^Fage

^CWide awake through this deepest night ^FStill waiting on the sun As the h^C/Eours seem to multiple Find a s^Ftar to solider on

^CLiving beneath a Lions paw Knowing no^Fthing can be tamed,... Can be ta^Gmed ^{F Em F}

^GI want this dream to last fo^Frever ^EmA wish denied to lengthen ou^Fr time ^GI wish this moment was never^Fending ^EmLet it be a lie that all futur^Fes die

While the go^Cvernment thrives on discontent And th^Fere’s no such thing as clear Pros^C/Eelytizing and profitizing As our w^Fill all but disappears ^CFolded over, forced in a choke hold Outnum^Fbered and held down And all t^C/Ehese talk of rapture Look ar^Found at the promise now,... Here and n^Gow Here and^F now Can’t hold m^Eme down Can’t hold^F me down ^{G F} Won’t hold ^Emus down Won’t hold ^Fus down

Live it o^Gut Let it out Get it o^Fut

Won’t h^Emold us down Won’t ho^Fld us down ^G

Won’t hold us do^Fwn Share the light Won’t hold us do^Emwn

Won’t hold us do^Fwn ^G

Won’t hold us do^Fwn Share the light Won’t hold us do^Emwn

Won’t hold us do^Fwn ^G

Won’t hold us do^Fwn Share the light Won’t hold us do^Emwn

Won’t hold us do^Fwn ^G Hold us down
