None of my friends around

[Bridge]
C G
(Heavy this leans inside me)
Keep Rising
C G
(The river seethes)
C G
(Parting the ground beneath me)
Keep Rising
D G
(Just like the sea)
Oh, Tar River
C G
(Watching it washing over)
Tar River
C G
(The broken reeds)
It grows inside me
C G
(Gambling the rushing water)
[Outro]
D G
Keeps on running (Over me)
C G
Keeps rising (Over me)
C G
Keeps rising (Over me)
C G
(Over me)
D G
Keeps rising
