[Intro] (x2)
Am, Dm, F, Am
[Verse 1]
Oh the river, oh the river, it s running free
And oh the joy, oh the joy it brings to me
But I know it ll have to drown me
Before it can breathe easy
And I ve seen it in the flights of birds, I ve seen it in you
The entrails of the animals the blood running through
But in order to get to the heart
I think sometimes you ll have to cut through
But you can t
We will carry...
We will carry you there...
[Chorus]
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Keep it up
I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Cause I am...
[Instrumental]
Am, Dm, F
[Verse 2]
On the sea, on the sea and land over land
Creeping and crawling like the sea over sand
Still I follow heartlines on your hand
And this fantasy, this fallacy, this tumbling stone
Echoes of a city that s long overgrown
your heart is the only place that I call home
Can I be returned?
You can...
We can..
[Chorus]
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Keep it up
I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
[Bridge]
(strum once)
What a thing to do
Oh...What a thing to choose
But know, in some way, I m there with you
Up against the wall on a Wednesday afternoon
[Chorus/Outro]
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Keep it up
I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Cause I am...
