River

           Em 
I've been a liar, been a thief 
G       C 
Been a lover, been a cheat 
    D   Em                   G        C 
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me 
   D    Em                             G    C 
A little one, I don't want to admit to something 
                             D      Em 
If all it's gonna cause is pain 
                   G            C 
Truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain 
            D 
So let the river run 

verse 1 
Em                                           G 
He's coming home with his neck scratched to catch flack 
C                                D 
Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatch 
Em 
On his breast jackets is sex addict 
G                      C                 Am  D 
And she just wants to exact revenge and get back 
         Em                                   G 
It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jetpack 
C 
She's kept track of all his internet chats 
     D                 Em 
And guess who just so happens to be moving on to the next? 
 G             C                          Am              D 
Actually, just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks 
Em                        G 
'Cause she loves danger, psychopath 
C                                       D 
And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even I know that 
Em                                   G   C 
But she's devised some plan to stab him in the back 
                              Am                D 
Knife in hand, says the relationship's hanging by a strand 
Em 
So she's been on the web lately 
G   C                                    D 
Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man 
Em                           G                 C 
And I know she's using me to try to play him, I don't care 

Hi Suzanne, but I shoulda' said "Bye Suzanne" after the first night, but tonight I am 

           Em 
I've been a liar, been a thief 
G       C 
Been a lover, been a cheat 
    D  Em                     G        C           Am 
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me 
        Em                            G    C 
A little one, I don't want to admit to something 
                             D     Em 
If all it's gonna cause is pain 
                   G            C                Am 
Truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain 

So let the river run 

verse 2 
Em                                 G 
One night stand turned into night stayin' 
              C                                     D 
It was cold, some lights gram, y'all be hung tight and 
          Em                             G 
He found out, now she feels deserted and used 
          C                          Am         D 
'Cause he left, so what? He did it first to her too 
     Em                                              G 
Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through? 
      C                                               D 
It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous and suited 
           Em 
When it's too hurt but what you deserve is the truth 
               G    C                             Am      D 
Don't take it personal, I just can't say this in person to you 
Em                               G        C 
So I revert to the studio like Hole In The Wall diners 
                                D 
Don't have to be reserved in a booth 
   Em                                         G 
I just feel like the person who I'm turnin' into is 
      C                                   Am          D 
Irreversible, I prayed on you like it's church at the pew 
                Em 
And now that I got you I don't want you 
                G            C 
Took advantage of my thirst to pursue 
                                D 
Why do I do this dirt that I do? 
           Em                                G 
Get on my soapbox and preach, my sermon in speech 
       C 
Detergent and bleach is burned in the womb 

'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 

Fuck! 

            Em 
I've been a liar, been a thief 
G       C 
Been a lover, been a cheat 
    D  Em                      G      C           Am 
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me 
        Em                             G    C 
A little one, I don't want to admit to something 
                             D     Em 
If all it's gonna cause is pain 
                   G            C                Am 
Truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain 

So let the river run 

Em  G    C 
Ooh Ohh Ohh 
Em  G    C 
Ooh Ohh Ohh 

C                                       D 
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride hey 
                                  C 
What can I say, if life was a highway 
                                                      Em 
This sequel's an enclave, I'll be swerving in 5 lanes 
                       D                    C 
Speeds at a high rate, like I'm sliding on ice made 
                                         Em 
Thats what I made, came at you sideways, 
                        D                       C 
I can't keep my lies straight, What I made you terminate my baby 
             Em                    D 
This love triangle angle left us in a wrecked tangle 
                                       C 
What else can I say, it was fun for a while 

Bet I really would've loved your smile 

Didnt really wanna... 

but fuck it, whats one more lie to tell an unborn child 

           Em 
I've been a liar, been a thief 
G       C 
Been a lover, been a cheat 
    D  Em                   G        C           Am 
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me 
            Em                          G    C 
A little one, I don't want to admit to something 
                             D     Em 
If all it's gonna cause is pain 
                   G         C 
Truth in my lies now are falling like the rain 

             D 
So let the river run
