Verse 1

            C#m7
We were the ones on fire
     Amaj7                    E
With nothing to lose but each other
              C#m7
Just like the moon needs the sun
         Amaj7                      E
Spinning round and round light from another
        C#m7                             Amaj7
We were running like we're wild, chasing lines in the sand
E
Falling from the sky, taking all that we can
            C#m7
We were the ones on fire
     Amaj7                    E
With nothing to lose but each other

Pre-chorus

             C#m7                Amaj7
All of these days go by, just to rub in my face
      E
Every way my heart wishes for another place
            C#m7
We were the ones on fire
     Amaj7                    E
With nothing to lose but each other

Chorus

        C#m7               Amaj7
And she said I can see the light but just a sliver
E
Passion in my bones has been a whisper
C#m7               Amaj7
But you still move me like a river
E
Like a river, like a river
C#m7   Amaj7   E
C#m7   Amaj7   E

Verse 2

C#m7                         Amaj7               E
Ran the longest mile just to dive in the deepest seas
      C#m7                      Amaj7                        E
Can't tame something wild can't hold it cause it needs to be free
      C#m7                       Amaj7
So confused we could lose all we made for us
    E
Overused, broke down, maybe we fell too much
            C#m7
We were the ones on fire
     Amaj7                    E
With nothing to lose but each other

Chorus

    C#m7               Amaj7
She said I can see the light but just a sliver
E
Passion in my bones has been a whisper
C#m7               Amaj7
But you still move me like a river
E
Like a river, like a river
C#m7   Amaj7   E
C#m7   Amaj7   E

Bridge

C#m7              Amaj7
You alone make me feel alive
E
All we built leave it all behind
C#m7              Amaj7
You alone make me feel alive
E
You alive, you, you alive
C#m7                   Amaj7            E
Running away and we'll never look back again
   C#m7                   Amaj7            E
Oh running away and we'll never look back again

Chorus

    C#m7               Amaj7
She said I can see the light but just a sliver
E
Passion in my bones has been a whisper
C#m7               Amaj7
But you still move me like a river
E
Like a river, like a river
C#m7   Amaj7   E
C#m7   Amaj7   E
