Cm       D#            Fm                Cm
Feel the ocean as it breathes, shivering teeth
         D#                   Fm             Cm
See the mountains where they meet, smotherin me
        D#                 Fm                      Cm
As the wind fends off the waves, I count down the days
        D#              Fm
Heavy stones fear no weather

I find comfort in the sound, and the shape of the heart
How it echoes through the chest from under the ground
As the hills turn into holes, I fill them with gold
Heavy stones fear no weather

Chorus:
   G#maj7         Cm                     A#
And from the rain comes a river running wild
That will create an empire for you
 G#maj7      Cm                      A#
Illuminate, there's a river running wild that will create
          G#maj7  Cm
an empire for you
           A#
an empire for two
          G#maj7  Cm
an empire for you
           A#
an empire for two

And I paint your body black, I hide in your hair
And you're staring back at me like I wasn't there
As our bodies become stills, we welcome the fear
Heavy stones fear no weather
