The City and the River Lyrics

?The City and the River?- The Rescues
inversions in the verses (C-/G, Eb/Bb, Eb/G) as well as chords being played
without thirds (C-5, Ab5, Eb5). It wouldn't be possible to articulate all of these
differences from line to line, but it's a cool sound to vary it up sometimes.
INTRO:
VERSE 1:
Two centuries
Since I first saw you weave
Like a dance around my heart
You grew wild when it rained
I dug deep into the slate
So we'd never be apart
CHORUS:
You, you always stayed by me
You, you wander but never leave
And I'm the one who watches over you
That's what I was built to do
VERSE 2:
Laid the track, poured the streets
Ties of glass and concrete
In silence, you watched what I became
You lifted me up
Said I'd stand at the top
And all the world would know my name
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
Love, don't you weep
You know we cannot keep
This moment here together
If you could only see
The beauty that I see
We'd go on forever
VERSE 3:
And as I turn to rust
Start to crack, betray us
You, you haven't aged a day
When it's time for me to go
Promise me that you'll flow
Until the ocean washes you away
CHORUS:
You, you always stayed by me
You, you wander but never leave
And I'm the one who watches over you
I'm the one who watches over you
I'm the one who watches over you
That's what I was built to do
