 D
Hold your hands up to your chest
 D
And tell me what you find
 D
Out of you, a sparrow comes
 D
And sees without its eyes

          G                                   Bm
Don't forget who you are even though you are hurt
         A                                 G
You are caught in a wire and soon it will burst.

Chorus:
          D                  D   G
You can cry, drinking your eyes,
                 Bm                A
Do you miss the sadness when it's gone?
                        D    G
And you let the river run wild.
And you let the river run wild.

I'm a shadow, I am cold
And now I seek for warmth
Stitch your skin onto my skin
And we won't be alone

Don't forget who you are even
though you're in need
Like a bird in the night, your
emotions deserves to be freed

Chorus:
You can cry, drinking your eyes
Do you miss the sadness when it is gone? (Gone)
And you let the river run wild (Gone)
And you let the river run wild
You can cry (You can cry), drinking your eyes
I don't miss the sadness when it is gone (Gone)
And the feeling of it makes me smile (Gone)
As I let the river run wild

D                                   D   G
You can cry. You can cry. You can cry.
To where the ocean is bigger.
          Bm
Become a part of the river.
A                                   D   G
You can cry. You can cry. You can cry.
Can you let the river run wild.

Chorus:
You can cry, drinking your eyes
(You can cry, you can cry, you can cry)
Do you miss the sadness when it is gone? (Gone)
(You can cry, you can cry, you can cry)
And you let the river run wild (Gone)
And you let the river run wild
You can cry, drinking your eyes
(You can cry, you can cry, you can cry)
(To where the ocean is bigger)
I don't miss the sadness when it is gone (Gone)
And the feeling of it makes me smile (Gone)
As I let the river run wild

You can cry, drinking your eyes
Do you miss the sadness when it's gone?
And you let the river run wild
And you let the river run wild
