G                  D/F#                   A
Someone hears a lie, somewhere underneath,
                    Bm       A             G
caught between the reeling, mirroring the beat.
               D/F#                 A
I no longer fit and the years asleep.
                  Bm        A
Show no sense of holding, staring aimlessly.

Chorus:
D           F#m
I wanna go south of the river,
  A                  G
glacier slow in the heart of the winter.
D           F#m
I wanna go south of the river,
 A                    G               D/F# G
face it alone in the heart of the winter.

And this will celebrate
This will settle
There an honest day
This is a mistake

To damn the earth below
Dam the earth removed
Damp and clawing evening
Bursting into tune
In a moment i was caught
From the current i was safe
In a limit of a half

Chorus:
I want to go
South of the river
Glacier slope
In the heart of the winter
I want to go
South of the river
Face it alone
In the heart of the winter
All ignited at the loft cry heard

Bm
Few became
Few became as glorious or unlocked
                                        G D/F#
As the forest they had started living near
Em
Ever since
Ever since the farthest reaching island
                                            C
We had sighted sheared it's banks and disappeared

C
Someone hears a liar
               Em
Somewhere underneath
                    G
Caught between the reeling
               C
Mirroring the beat
C
I no longer fish
              Em
Ended years before
                     G
There's no sense of holding
                    C
There's no sense at all
C
I was someone else
                Em
I was something pure
               G
Pitting at the armour
              D
Peril at the door

G
I want to go
Bm
South of the river
 D
Face it alone
        C
In the heart of the winter

I want to go
South of the river
Face it alone
In the heart of the winter
