A
There is a secret
I found a secret
               E
Behind a Soho door

There is a reason
I found a reason
Beneath the subway floor

Chorus:
A
I found the water
The devils water
                       E
And walked along its shore
B
Is that what you want?

The channel’s changing
The heart is racing
from voices on a wire

The soul is yearning
the cold is burning
the ember starts a fire

Chorus:
Can we recover
love for each other,
the measure of your life
Is that what you want?

B
Is that what you really want

   A
A river
   E
A river
   B                   E
a river running under ground

   A
A river
   E
A river
B
Is that what you want?
Is that what you really want?

E    B            A
I!.. I!.. I am a river
I!.. I!.. I am a river
I!.. I!.. I am a river
I!.. I!.. I am a river

B
Is that what you want
is that what you really want

I!.. I!.. I am a river
I!.. I!.. I am a river
I!.. I!.. I am a river
I!.. I!.. I am a river

E B        A
   I am a river

I!.. I!..I am a river
I!.. I!..I am a river
I!.. I!.. I am a river
