[VERSE 1]
 
 Am       C             Dm                Am
Feel the ocean as it breathes, shivering teeth
           C                  Dm             Am
See the mountains where they meet, smotherin me
        C                  Dm                      Am
As the wind fends off the waves, I count down the days
        C              Dm
Heavy stones fear no weather

[VERSE 2]
 
Am       C             Dm                          Am
I find comfort in the sound, and the shape of the heart
         C                 Dm                    Am
How it echoes through the chest from under the ground
        C                Dm                     Am
As the hills turn into holes, I fill them with gold
        C              Dm
Heavy stones fear no weather
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
   Fmaj7         Am                      G
And from the rain comes a river running wild
 
That will create an empire for you
  Fmaj7        Am                    G
Illuminate, there's a river running wild that will create
            Fmaj7  Am
an empire for you
               G
an empire for two
            Fmaj7  Am
an empire for you
               G
an empire for two
 
 
[VERSE 3]
 
 Am     C              Dm                    Am
And I paint your body black, I hide in your hair
              C            Dm                Am
And you're staring back at me like I wasn't there
         C             Dm                    Am
As our bodies become stills, we welcome the fear
        C              Dm
Heavy stones fear no weather
 
 
[CHORUS 2]
 
   Fmaj7         Am                      G
And from the rain comes a river running wild
 
That will create an empire for you
  Fmaj7        Am                    G
Illuminate, there's a river running wild that will create
            Fmaj7  Am
an empire for you
               G
an empire for two
            Fmaj7  Am
an empire for you
               G
an empire for two
