River Of Tears

	  		Verso: 1

Dm                             F 
Still got the flowers that you sent 
        F5                               C 
And the note you wrote that said we were meant, to be forever 
Dm                    F 
I keep them all as evidence 
     F5                                   C 
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises 
Dm 
I don't know why, I keep 
F 
Letting you lie to me 
F5 
Hard as I try, it seems 
C 
I can't break away 
               Dm 
I thought that you would be the hero 
          F 
Come and save the day 
                    F5 
But you're a villain 
                    C 
Your sins unforgiven 

 
             Dm                              F 
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown 
                  F5                       C 
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream 
              Dm                               F 
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say 
                 F5                  C 
The river of tears has washed me clean 
Dm                         F 
 Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well 
F5                      C 
 I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away 
Dm                        F 
 So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats 
F5                   C 
 In a river of tears, In a river of tears

Dm                          F 
I catch your scent in every wind 
        F5                               C 
And I recall the love we had, I can't pretend 
     Dm                             F 
That I don't miss you every now and then 
        F5 
But the hurt is for the better 
       C 
Moving on, it's now or never 
Dm                            F 
Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry 
               F5 
Like there's a sea in my eyes 
         C 
I realize that sometimes  
                      Dm 
love brings you flowers 
                          F 
Then it builds you coffins 
                 F5 
And far too often 
                 C 
We end up falling to our demise 

 
             Dm                              F 
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown 
                  F5                       C 
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream 
              Dm                               F 
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say 
                 F5                  C 
The river of tears has washed me clean 
Dm                         F 
 Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well 
F5                      C 
 I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away 
Dm                        F 
 So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats 
F5                   C 
 In a river of tears, In a river of tears 


Ponte: 
F5                       F                 F5   C 
Cry me a river, build myself a bridge, I'm over this 
F5 
 Can't let memories become the death of me, I'm glad to see 
F 
 Everything that you are 
C                          F 
 And I believe that you are everything I needed 
                        F5 
But I don't need no more 


             Dm                              F 
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown 
                  F5                       C 
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream 
              Dm                               F 
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say 
                 F5                  C 
The river of tears has washed me clean 
Dm                         F 
 Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well 
F5                      C 
 I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away 
Dm                        F 
 So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats 
F5                   C 
 In a river of tears, In a river of tears
