F D Am Em
F D
Follow your heart to the water
Am C
Fill your pockets with stone
F D Am
Throw your arms around me
C
Never let me go
[Verse]
Em Am
You were the first, you wouldn't be the last
Em Am
What the river took, we could never replace
F D
And as the pain set in so did the realisation
Am C
You were never coming home
F D
For nights we lay awake
Am C
Wishing for answers, hoping against all hope
F D
And if love could change the course of fate
Am C
These nights, we move mountains
F D Am
But as the news filtered down the line, the impact shook us
C
Shook us to the core
F D Am C
Loss struck like a dagger in our aching hearts
[Chorus]
F D
So follow your heart to the water
Am C
Fill your pockets with stone
F D Am
Throw your arms around me
C
Never let me go

[Verse]
Am Em
It's not the years in your life,
Am Em
It's not the years in your life,
Am F
It's not the years in your life,
D C
it's the life in your years
F D
Old soul, so it's said
Am C
The day we lost is the day I found regret
F D
Not in the waters that embraced you
Am C
But in the wake your absence left
Am C G
Sink into me
Am C G
Sink into me
[Outro]
F Am C D Am D

Hold out your hands, sink into me
F Em Am Em
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away

Hold out your hands, sink into me

Hold out your hands, I'll take you away
Am C Am G
Hold out your hands, sink into me
Am C G
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away
F G
Hold out your hands, sink into me
Am C
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away
F G Am C
Hold out your hands, surrender the weight of this world
[Chorus]

Follow your heart to the water

Never let me go
Follow your heart to the water
Fill your pockets with stone
Throw your arms around me
Never let me go!
You were the first, you wouldn't be the last
What the river took, we could never replace
And as the pain set in, so did the realization
You were never coming home
For nights we lay awake
Wishing for answers, hoping against all hope
And if love could change the course of fate
These nights, we move mountains
But as the news filtered down the line
The impact shook us, shook us to the core
Loss struck like a dagger in our, aching hearts
So follow your heart to the water
Fill your pockets with stone
Throw your arms around me
Never let me go!
It's not the years in your life
It's not the years in your life
It's not the years in your life
It's the life in your years!
Old soul, so it's said...
The day we lost is the day I found regret
Not in the waters that embraced you
But in the wake your absence left
Sink into me! Sink into me!
Hold out your hands, sink into me...
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away...
Hold out your hands, sink into me...
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away...
Hold out your hands, sink into me!
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away!
Hold out your hands, sink into me!
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away!
Hold out your hands, surrender the weight of this world!
Follow your heart to the water
Fill your pockets with stone
Throw your arms around me!
Follow your heart to the water
Fill your pockets with stone
Throw your arms around me
Never let me go
