Biography:
Brighten is an indie rock band from Chico, California, consisting of Justin Richards (guitar, lead vocals), Alex Draper (bass, backing vocals), and Jimmy Richards (drums, percussion).
Although Brighten has been playing together for nine years, they only formed a band in 2004. In high school, they went by the name Sincerely Me, though after high school, due to minor conflict, they changed their name to Brighten.
They independently released their debut EP, Ready When You Are, on November 9, 2005.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
IMPORTANT NOTE: No capo is required. The "x" represents the fact that you do not play
that string. The chords used are below, and the chords can be easily switched from one to
the next once you've got the basic manipulation of your hand down.

The beginning of the song starts out with this tab:
e|----9--10--7--9--5--7--3--2--2--2--2--0

Once you've repeated this pattern twice, move to using actual chords:
EHF B7
Love is a river that flows through the soul
A7 B7
Straight to the heart of a man
EHF B7
Our love forever lives deep
A7 B7
In the palm of God's hands
A7 B7 C#m7 B7 A7
Just as my heart woke it beat for you
A7 B7 C#m7 B7 A7
Just as my mouth spoke it spoke for you
E A7
Forever in love, forever in love with you
E A7
Forever in love, forever in love with you
C#m7 B7 A7
Only in love
C#m7 B7 A7
Only in love
Chords for the bridge were listed early because the entire rest of the song follows the
same chords (besides the bridge). If you're stuck on a part try experimenting with the
given chords because it is relatively easy to figure out the chords for the song once
you understand most of them.
I recognize that these are not the exact chords, but they work for the song and in my
opinion sound great. Brighten sings it very high, so experimenting with capo placing may
be necessary.
