After the Devil Beats His Wife Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]You wanna swim in the river
I wanna dance in the summer
[F]You've always been the believer
I'm always left to wonder
[Dm]The water is rushing so fast
I think it will take [Am]us under

[Verse 2]
[Am]Oh, what t[Em]hought did y[F]ou rec[C]all
That would [Dm]make you [G#dim]say
my [Am]name?[G]
The wa[Dm]ter's so deep
A [C]friend says "Don't go"
But [B]my mouth betrays me
And [E]says "Hold on"
(And now [Am]I

[Verse 3]
[F]know)
This is the [Dm]pain of believ[Am]ing
(The danger [F]is real)
And there's no [Dm]easy way [Am]out
(How did [C]I g[F]et here?)
You trust too [Dm]much in my [Am]bravery
It's [F]my safety you're [E]taking

[Verse 4]
[Am]We're gonna drown in the river
I cannot swim any [Dm]farther
My blood is pumping so fast
To my heart and limbs [Am]underwater

[Verse 5]
Then [Am]I reach and fin[Em]d your han[F]d in min[C]e
And [Dm]they say you [G#]will be saved,
[Am]but no[G]
[Dm]I pull and I pull and I pull
But [C]your foot, it's anchored deep
Your [B]face tells me you
[E]won't be freed
(And now [F]I

[Verse 6]
know)
This is the [Dm]pain of be[Am]lieving
(The danger [F]is real)
And there's no [Dm]easy way [Am]out
(How did I [F]get here?)
You trust too [Dm]much in my [Am]bravery
It's [F]my safety you're [E]tak

[E][Am][Dm][E][Em][E][Am]

[Verse 7]
I decided [Am]long ago
Never let your loved ones [Dm]know
Who you really [Am]are, [Dm]who you really are
[Em]People want [Am]the truth
[E]but never want the scars
[Am]And now I'm here,

[Verse 8]
my best friend dying
And I'm the one that's still lying
[Dm]And you say it's gonna be okay
[Em]Over and over and [Am]over and over

[Verse 9]
and over and over again
[Am]
River, wash [C]me [Am]clean
River, wash me [C]clean[Am][C]
[Am]River, wash [C]me [Am]clean[C]
[Am]River, wash [C]me [Am]clean
