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
