There is a river that washes you clean 
           F                               C 
There is a tree that marks the places you've been 
                    Am                      D 
Blood that was spilled, although not your own, 

                   Am             F                     C 
For all of your tears, are the wages for things you have done 
C                    Am 
And all of those nights 
          F                           G 
Spent alone in the darkness of your mind 
F              Em   Am   G/A 
Give it up, Let go 
F                                    G 
These are things you were never meant to shoulder

There is a tree that marks the places you've been 
                    Am                     D 
Blood that was spilled, although not your own 
                  F                G 
For all of those tears, love will atone 

                   Am 
So, give up the right 
     F                                  C 
To control the waves that empty out your life 
              Am 
Above wild skies 
          F                              G 
Are the rays that break the shadows we design 

      F      Em  Am  G/A 
Give it up, let go 
      F                                      Em  Am  G/A 
These are things you were never meant to shoulder 
      F       G 
Give it up, let go

                  F                G 
For all of those tears, love will atone 

F                Em                 Am 
I know the world can turn in different ways 
F                 Em               Am 
Most of the time, we're simply hanging on 
F                     Em         Am 
And under the signs of how we all behave 
F                                G 
We might find the place where we belong

For all of these things, love will atone 
                   F                         C 
For all of those nights, that you cried all alone 
                 F                C 
For all of your tears, love will atone
