[Verse 1]
We were the C#m7ones on fire
With Amaj7nothing to lose but each Eother
Just like the C#m7moon needs the sun
Spinning Amaj7round and round light from Eanother
We were C#m7running like we're wild, chasing Amaj7lines in the sand
EFalling from the sky, taking all that we can
We were the C#m7ones on fire
With Amaj7nothing to lose but each Eother
[Pre-chorus]
All of these C#m7days go by, just to Amaj7rub in my face
Every Eway my heart wishes for another place
We were the C#m7ones on fire
With Amaj7nothing to lose but each Eother
[Chorus]
And she C#m7said I can see the Amaj7light but just a sliver
EPassion in my bones has been a whisper
C#m7But you still move Amaj7me like a river
ELike a river, like a river
C#m7   Amaj7   E
C#m7   Amaj7   E
[Verse 2]
C#m7Ran the longest mile just to Amaj7dive in the deepest Eseas
Can't C#m7tame something wild can't Amaj7hold it cause it needs to be Efree
So conC#m7fused we could lose all we Amaj7made for us
OverEused, broke down, maybe we fell too much
We were the C#m7ones on fire
With Amaj7nothing to lose but each Eother
[Chorus]
She C#m7said I can see the Amaj7light but just a sliver
EPassion in my bones has been a whisper
C#m7But you still move Amaj7me like a river
ELike a river, like a river
C#m7   Amaj7   E
C#m7   Amaj7   E
[Bridge]
C#m7You alone make me Amaj7feel alive
EAll we built leave it all behind
C#m7You alone make me Amaj7feel alive
EYou alive, you, you alive
C#m7Running away and we'll Amaj7never look back aEgain
Oh C#m7running away and we'll Amaj7never look back aEgain
[Chorus]
She C#m7said I can see the Amaj7light but just a sliver
EPassion in my bones has been a whisper
C#m7But you still move Amaj7me like a river
ELike a river, like a river
C#m7   Amaj7   E
C#m7   Amaj7   E
[Outro]
C#m7Ran the longest mile just to Amaj7dive in the deepest seas

[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

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

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

Passion in my bones has been a whisper

C#m7 Amaj7

But you still move me like a river

Like a river, like a river

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

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

Passion in my bones has been a whisper

C#m7 Amaj7

But you still move me like a river

Like a river, like a river

C#m7 Amaj7 E

[Bridge]

C#m7 Amaj7

You alone make me feel alive

All we built leave it all behind

C#m7 Amaj7

You alone make me feel alive

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

Passion in my bones has been a whisper

C#m7 Amaj7

But you still move me like a river

Like a river, like a river

C#m7 Amaj7 E

[Outro]

C#m7 Amaj7

Ran the longest mile just to dive in the deepest seas
