D G Finally D G We have seen some things Bm A Some awfully nice C#dim7 Em Some dreadfully bad But we will sing, wash the blood off our knees 'Cause our love breaks through rough seas, our ship will sail I, don't, understand How this world will work Cause time will tell us nothing I'll take a chance on something Chorus: D feeling old, feelings this time take you Bm Down river, down river A Down river, down… D walk these stairs, put the pieces back together Bm Go, don't stop, go, don't stop A Go, don't stop, go, don't stop D Now go.. Finally, we have seen some things But bells in your hallways don't move you in the right place So we will sing, cast our hopes out to sea Though our hearts break, through violent winds, our ship will sail And I don't understand how this world would work 'Cause time will tell us nothing I'll take a chance on something Chorus Go, don't stop, go, don't stop Go, don't stop, go, don't stop Go, don't stop, go, don't stop Go, don't stop, go, don't stop now, go Go, don't stop Go, don't stop, go, don't stop Go, don't stop, go, don't stop now, go You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#dim7  D  Em  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
