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


[Verse 1]
Em                                
   He's comin' home with his neck 
             G
scratched to catch flack
C                                  
   Sweat jackets and dress slacks, 
D
mismatched
Em                             
On his breath's Jack, he's a sex 
             G
addict and she just wants to
C                 A5       D
Exact revenge and get back

         Em                     
It's a chess match, she's on his 
              G
back like a jet-pack
      C                            
She's kept track of all his 
            D
Internet chats and guess who just
Em                                
Happens to be movin' on to the 
    G
next actually
     C                             
Just shit on my last chick and she 
A5           D
has what my ex lacks

Em                       
  'Cause she loves danger, 
  G
psychopath
C                                 
   And you don't fuck with no 
             D
man's girl, even I know that
Em                                
   But she's devised some plan to 
         G
stab him in the back
C                     
Knife in hand, says the 
      A5                 D
relationship's hangin' by a strand

Em                                 G
   So she's been on the web lately
     C                             
Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy,
    D
 to spite her man
Em                              G
   And I know she's using me to 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 1]
            Em                  G 
I've been a liar, been a thief, 
     C
been a lover, been a cheat
    D    Em                  G   
All my sins need holy water, feel
    C            A5
 it washin' over me
               Em               
Well little one, I don't want to 
          G         C
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
A5
   So let the river run


[Verse 2]
Em                        
One-night stand turned to a 
                   G
two-night stand, it was
      C                            
"Come sunlight, scram," now we hug 
          D
tight and
         Em                        
He found out, now she feels 
           G
deserted and used
            C                      
'Cause he left, so what, he did it 
A5               D
first to her too

    Em                             
Now how am I supposed to tell this 
                         G
girl that we're through?
     C                          
It's hard to find the words, I'm 
                    D
aloof, nervous and Sue
                Em
Don't want this to hurt but what you
 deserve is the truth
       G           C              
Don't take it personal, I just 
               A5            D
can't say this in person to you

Em                                
   So I revert to the studio like 
     G           C
hole-in-the-wall diners
Don't have to be reserved in a booth
 D

  Em                               
I just feel like the person who I'm
                G
 turnin' into's
     C                             
Irreversible, I preyed on you like 
     A5                D
it's church at the pew

               Em
And now that I got you I don't want 
you
               G              
Took advantage in my thirst to 
 C
pursue
                                 D
Why do I do this dirt that I do?
          Em                    
Get on my soapbox and preach, my 
                   G
sermon and speech
          C
Detergent 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 2]
                    Em          
I've been (fuck!) a liar, been a 
        G      C
thief, been a lover, been a cheat
    D    Em                  G   
All my sins need holy water, feel
    C            A5
 it washin' over me
               Em               
Well little one, I don't want to 
          G         C
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
A5
   So let the river run


[Bridge]
Em                 G             
My name's (oh-oh), my name's 
    C
(oh-oh) Denver (oh-oh), river run
     Em               G     
Just call me (oh-oh), call me 
          C
(oh-oh) River (oh-oh)
N.C.
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                       D5
   Speeds at a high rate 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

        Em
But I made you terminate my baby
              Em
This love triangle left us in a 
wreck, tangled
                C
What else can I 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 3]
            Em                  G 
I've been a liar, been a thief, 
     C
been a lover, been a cheat
    D    Em                  G   
All my sins need holy water, feel
    C
 it washin' over me
     D         Em                 
Well little one, (I’m sorry) I 
                    G         C
don't want to admit to something (I 
fucked up)
                           D    Em
If all it's gonna cause is pain,  
                     G       
 the truth in my lies now are 
 C
falling like the rain
           D
So let the river run (river run, 
river run, river run)
