Version 1
[Intro]
G D C D C G 2x
[Verse1]
G D Em
I wanna be there when the voices in your head
C
Are loud enough to make you lose your mind
G D Em
Just the same when you're dominating the day
C
I wanna be the one who's by your side
[Pre-Chorus]
G D
You know my love is not the jealous type
Em C
It doesn't matter if we win or lose
G D
I could stay or I could come
Em
No matter where you're coming from
C
I could be the one to let you choose
[Chorus]
G C Em
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
D
Just like the banks to the river
G C Em
And if you ever feel like you are not enough
D
I'm gonna break all your mirrors
G C Em
I wanna be there when the darkness closes in
D
To make the truth a little clearer
G C Em
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
D
I'll be the banks for your river
[Post-Chorus]
G C Em D Dsus
I'll be the banks for your river
G C Em D Dsus
I'll be the banks for your river
[Verse 2]
G D Em
You are beautiful and wild at every turn
C
Who am I to take control of that?
G D Em
Everybody needs a voice they can follow
C
When the water and the winds get bad
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
You know my love is not the jealous type
G D
And it don't matter if we win or lose
Em C
I could push or I could pull
D
No matter what you're trying to do
As long as I can flow along with you
[Chorus]
G C Em
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
D
Just like the banks to the river
G C Em
And if you ever feel like you are not enough
D
I'm gonna break all your mirrors
G C Em
I wanna be there when the darkness closes in
D
To make the truth a little clearer
G C Em
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
D
I'll be the banks for your river
[Post-Chorus]
G C Em D Dsus
I'll be the banks for your river
G C Em D Dsus
I'll be the banks for your river
[Bridge]
Bm C G
Baby, I ain't saying that you need my help
Bm C G
But you don't have to do it all by yourself
Bm C
So, baby, when the current gets strong
G
You need somewhere to rest your bones
D
I wanna be there for you
Dsus G
I wanna be strong for you, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
G C Em
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
D
Just like the banks to the river
G C Em
And if you ever feel like you are not enough
D
I'm gonna break all your mirrors
G C Em
I wanna be there when the darkness closes in
D
To make the truth a little clearer
G C Em
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
D
I'll be the banks for your river
[Outro]
G C Em
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
G D
(I'll be the banks for your river)
G C Em
And if you ever feel like you are not enough
G D
(I'll be the banks for your river)
G C Em
I wanna be there when the darkness closes in
D
To make the truth a little clearer
G C Em
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
D G
I'll be the banks for your river
