[Verse]
E
There is a secret
A
I found a secret
B        Ab A  E
Behind a Soho door
 
 
E
There is a reason
A
I found a reason
B           Ab A     E
Beneath the subway floor
 
 
E
I found the water
A
The devils water
B           Ab A       E
and walked along its shore
B
Is that what you want?
 
 
[Verse]
E
The channel’s changing
A
The heart is racing
B           Ab A  E
from voices on a wire
 
 
E
The soul is yearning
A
the cold is burning
B          Ab A    E
the ember starts a fire
 
 
E
Can we recover
A
love for each other,
B           Ab A     E
the measure of your life
 
B
Is that what you want?
B
Is that what you really want
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
E
A river
B
A river
B               Ab A    E
a river running under ground
 
E
A river
B
A river
B
Is that what you want?
Is that what you really want?
