River

Capo 4 

 

Intro chorus: 

I've been a [Em ]liar, been a thief, [G ]been a [C ]lover, been a cheat 

All [D ]my sins [Em ]need holy water, [G ]feel it [C ]washin' over me 

Well [D ]little one, [Em ]I don't want to admit to [G ]something [C ] 

If all it's gonna cause is [D ]pain, [Em ]truth in my lies [G ]right now are [C ]falling like the rain 

So let the [D ]river run 

 

Verse 1: 

[Em ]He's comin' home with his neck scratched to [G ]catch flack 

[C ]Sweat jackets and dress slacks, [D ]mismatched 

[Em ]On his breath's Jack, he's a sex addict and [G ]she just wants to 

[C ]Exact revenge and [A5 ]get back [D ] 

It's a [Em ]chess match, she's on his back like a [G ]jet-pack 

She's [C ]kept track of all his Internet chats and [D ]guess who just 

[Em ]Happens to be movin' on to the next [G ]actually 

Just [C ]shit on my last chick and she [A5 ]has what my [D ]ex lacks 

[Em ]'Cause she loves danger, [G ]psychopath 

[C ]And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even [D ]I know that 

[Em ]But she's devised some plan to stab him [G ]in the back 

[C ]Knife in hand, says the [A5 ]relationship's hangin' [D ]by a strand 

[Em ]So she's been on the web lately [G ] 

Says [C ]maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to [D ]spite her man 

[Em ]And I know she's using me to [G ]try to play him 

[C ]I don't care, "hi Suzanne", but I shoulda said "bye Suzanne" 

After the first night, but tonight I am 

 

Chorus: 

I've been a [Em ]liar, been a thief, [G ]been a [C ]lover, been a cheat 

All [D ]my sins [Em ]need holy water, [G ]feel it [C ]washin' over me 

Well [D ]little one, [Em ]I don't want to admit to [G ]something [C ] 

If all it's gonna cause is [D ]pain, [Em ]truth in my lies [G ]right now are [C ]falling like the rain 

[A5 ]So let the river run 

 

Verse 2: 

[Em ]One-night stand turned to a two-night stand, [G ]it was 

"Come [C ]sunlight, scram," now we hug tight and [D ] 

He found [Em ]out, now she feels deserted and used [G ] 

'Cause he [C ]left, so what, he did it [A5 ]first to her too [D ] 

Now [Em ]how am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through? [G ] 

It's [C ]hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous and [D ]Sue 

Don't want this [Em ]to hurt but what you deserve is the truth 

Don't [G ]take it [C ]personal, I just can't say this in [A5 ]person to you [D ] 

[Em ]So I revert to the studio like hole -[G ]in - the - wall [C ]diners 

Don't have to be reserved in a [D ]booth 

I [Em ]just feel like the person who I'm turnin' into's [G ] 

[C ]Irreversible, I preyed on you like it's [A5 ]church at the pew [D ] 

And now that I [Em ]got you I don't want you 

Took advantage [G ]in my thirst to [C ]pursue 

Why do I do this dirt that I do? [D ] 

Get on my [Em ]soapbox and preach, my sermon and speech [G ] 

Detergent [C ]and bleach is burnin' the wound 

'Cause now with her in the womb 

We can't bring her in this world, shoulda knew 

To use protection 'fore I bit into your forbidden fruit 

 

Chorus: 

I've been (fuck!) a [Em ]liar, been a thief, [G ]been a [C ]lover, been a cheat 

All [D ]my sins [Em ]need holy water, [G ]feel it [C ]washin' over me 

Well [D ]little one, [Em ]I don't want to admit to [G ]something [C ] 

If all it's gonna cause is [D ]pain, [Em ]truth in my lies [G ]right now are [C ]falling like the rain 

[A5 ]So let the river run 

 

Bridge: 

[Em ]My name's (oh-oh), [G ]my name's (oh-oh) [C ]Denver (oh-oh), river run 

Just [Em ]call me (oh-oh), [G ]call me (oh-oh) [C ]River (oh-oh) 

We'll let the river run 

 

Verse 3: 

[C ]Always the bridesmaid, never "the bride, hey" 

[D5 ]Fuck can I say, if life was a highway 

[C ]And deceit was an enclave, I'd be swerving in five lanes 

[Em ]Speeds at a high rate [D5 ]like I'm slidin' on ice maybe 

[C ]That's why I'm may have came at you sideways 

[D5 ]I can't keep my lies straight 

But I [Em ]made you terminate my baby 

This love [Em ]triangle left us in a wreck, tangled 

What else can I [C ]say, it was fun for a while, bet I really woulda loved your smile 

Didn't really wanna abort but fuck it, what's one more lie to tell our unborn child? 

 

Chorus: 

I've been (fuck!) a [Em ]liar, been a thief, [G ]been a [C ]lover, been a cheat 

All [D ]my sins [Em ]need holy water, [G ]feel it [C ]washin' over me 

Well [D ]little one, [Em ]I don't want to admit to [G ]something [C ] 

If all it's gonna cause is [D ]pain, [Em ]truth in my lies [G ]right now are [C ]falling like the rain 

So let the [D ]river run (river run, river run, river run)
