River Cross Chords & Lyrics - Pearl Jam

[INTRO]
[G] [F] [Em] [F]

[VERSE]
[G]Always thought I’d cross that r[F]iver
[Em]The other side, distant[F] now
[G]As I got close it turned and [F]widened
[Em]Horizon now, fading [F]out

[C]Drifting in the undertow
Can’t s[F]pot a figure on dry land
A[C/E]nd afterthoughts of safety
When in tr[F]uth, none to be had,...
None to be h[G]ad [F] [Em] [F]

[VERSE]
[G]I used to tell time by my sh[F]adow
[Em]‘Til the thunderclouds, they took the[F] stage
[G]These days will end as do the l[F]ights rays
[Em]Another read of the same p[F]age

[C]Wide awake through this deepest night
[F]Still waiting on the sun
As the h[C/E]ours seem to multiple
Find a s[F]tar to solider on

[C]Living beneath a Lions paw
Knowing no[F]thing can be tamed,...
Can be ta[G]med [F] [Em] [F]

[VERSE]
[G]I want this dream to last fo[F]rever
[Em]A wish denied to lengthen ou[F]r time
[G]I wish this moment was never[F]ending
[Em]Let it be a lie that all futur[F]es die

While the go[C]vernment thrives on discontent
And th[F]ere’s no such thing as clear
Pros[C/E]elytizing and profitizing
As our w[F]ill all but disappears
[C]Folded over, forced in a choke hold
Outnum[F]bered and held down
And all t[C/E]hese talk of rapture
Look ar[F]ound at the promise now,...
Here and n[G]ow
Here and[F] now
Can’t hold m[Em]e down
Can’t hold[F] me down [G] [F]
Won’t hold [Em]us down
Won’t hold [F]us down

[BRIDGE]
Live it o[G]ut

Let it out
Get it o[F]ut

Shout it out
Won’t h[Em]old us down
Won’t ho[F]ld us down [G]
