The pattern is simple
Asus2
Moving down the water
Abm
John is drifting out of sight
F#sus2
It's only at the turning point
Dmaj7
That you find out how you fight
Asus2
In the cold, feel the cold
Abm
All around...
F#sus2
And the rush of crashing water
Dmaj7
Surrounds me with its sound
It's the same chord progression through the whole short song. The vocals and the band
in intensity as the track goes on, but the chords remain the same.
Here are the chords tabbed out.
Keep in mind, I fingerpick EVERYTHING I play, so my chords are the simplest ones
and may be different from the ones most flat pickers use. If you flat pick, mute the x'd
on each chord while strumming or play your barre chords.

Moving down the water
John is drifting out of sight,
Its only at the turning point
That you find out how you fight.
In the cold, feel the cold
all around
And the rush of crashing water
Surrounds me with its sound.
Rael manages to grab a rock, pull himself to the surface and catch his breath. As John is carried past, Rael throws himself in again and catches hold of his arm. He knocks John unconscious and then locking themselves together, he rides the rapids into the slow running water, where he can swim to safety.
Striking out to reach you
I can't get through to the other side,
When you're racing in the rapids
There's only one way, thats to ride.
Taken down, taken down
by the undertow
I'm spiralled down the river bed,
My fire is burning low.
Catching hold of a rock that's firm,
I'm waiting for John to be carried past.
We hold together, hold together and shoot the rapids fast.
But as he hauls his brother's limp body onto the bank he lies him out and looks hopefully into his eyes for a sign of life. He staggers back in recoil, for staring at him with eyes wide open is not John's face - but his own.
And when the waters slow down
The dark and the deep
have no-one, no-one, no-one, no-one
no-one left to keep.
Hang on John! We're out of this at last.
Somethings changed, that's not your face.
It's mine - it's mine!
