Am
Oh the river, oh the river, it's running free
And oh the joy, oh the joy it brings to me
      F
But I know it'll have to drown me
Am
Before I can breathe easy
And I've seen it in the flights of birds
I've seen it in you
The entrails of the animals,
The blood running through
           F
But in order to get to the heart
Am
I think sometimes you'll have to cut through
But you can't...

We will carry...
         F             Am
We will carry you there...
            F
Just keep following!
     C                  G
The heartlines on your hand!
            F
Just keep following!
      C                 G
The heartlines on your hand!
    F        C
Keep it up!
           G
I know you can!
          F
Just keep following!
      C                G
The heartlines on your hand!
               Am
Cause I am...
Am
On the sea, on the sea and land over land.
Creeping and crawling like the sea over sand.
F                                 Am
Still I follow heartlines on your head.
And there's fantasy, there's fallacy, there's tumbling stone.
Am
Echoes of a city that's long overgrown.
      F                                   Am
Your heart is the only place that I call home,
I cannot be returned.
     F
You can...
You can...
           Am
I know you can...
           F
Just keep following!
       C              G
The heartlines on your hand!
F
Just keep following!
     C                  G
The heartlines on your hand!
         F       C
Keep it up!
           G
I know you can! 
          F
Just keep following!
      C                 G              F  C
The heartlines on your hand!    
 
                 G
What a thing to do...
                  F    C
Oooh 
                  G  
What a thing to choose...
       F           C      G
But know, in some way I'm there with you.
 F              C           G            F
Up against the wall on a wednesday afternoon.
            F
Just keep following!
      C              G
The heartlines on your hand!
         F

The heartlines on your hand!
Cause I am.
