River

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

[Verso 1]
G#m                               
   He's coming home with his neck 
             B
scratched to catch flack
E                                  
   Sweat jackets and dress slacks, 
F#
mismatch
G#m                               
On his breast jacket is a sex 
       B
addict and she just wants to
E                  C#5      F#
Exact revenge and get back

         G#m                    
It's a chess match, she's on his 
              B
back like a jetpack
      E                            
She's kept track of all his 
            F#
internet chats and guess who just
G#m                               
Happens to be moving on to the 
    B
next actually
     E                             
Just shit on my last chick and she 
C#5          F#
has what my ex lacks

G#m                      
  'Cause she loves danger, 
  B
psychopath
E                                 
   And you don't fuck with no 
             F#
man's girl, even I know that
G#m                               
   But she's devised some plan to 
         B
stab him in the back
E                     
Knife in hand, says the 
      C#5                F#
relationship's hanging by a strand

G#m                                B
   So she's been on the web lately
     E                             
Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy,
    F#
 to spite her man
G#m                             B
   And I know she's using me to try 
to play him
E
I don't care, "hi Suzanne", but I 
shoulda' said "bye Suzanne"

After the first night, but tonight I
 am

[Verso 2]
G#m                           
One night stand turned into two 
                 B
night stayin', it was cold
    E                              
And some might scram, y'all we hug 
          F#
tight and
         G#m                       
He found out, now she feels 
           B
deserted and used
            E                      
'Cause he left, so what, he did it 
C#5              F#
first to her too

    G#m                            
Now how am I supposed to tell this 
                         B
girl that we're through?
     E                          
It's hard to find the words, I'm 
                    F#
aloof, nervous and suited
          G#m
When it's too hurtful but what you 
deserve is the truth
       B           E              
Don't take it personal, I just 
               C#5           F#
can't say this in person to you

G#m                               
   So I revert to the studio like 
     B           E
Hole In The Wall diners
Don't have to be reserved in a booth
 F#

  G#m                              
I just feel like the person who I'm
                B
 turnin' into's
     E                             
Irreversible, I prayed on you like 
     C#5               F#
it's church at the pew

               G#m
And now that I got you I don't want 
you
               B              
Took advantage of my thirst to 
 E
pursue
                                 F#
Why do I do this dirt that I do?
           G#m                   
Get off my soapbox and preach, my 
                  B
sermon in speech
          E
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


[Estribillo]
                    G#m         
I've been (fuck!) a liar, been a 
        B      E
thief, been a lover, been a cheat
    F#   G#m                 B   
All my sins need holy water, feel
    E            C#5
 it washin' over me
               G#m              
Well little one, I don't want to 
          B         E
admit to something
                           F#   
If all it's gonna cause is pain,
G#m                B        E
   truth in my lies now are falling 
like the rain
C#5
   So let the river run


[Puente]
G#m                B             
My name's (oh-oh), my name's 
    E
(oh-oh) Denver (oh-oh), never run
     G#m              B     
Just call me (oh-oh), call me 
          E
(oh-oh) River (oh-oh)
N.C.
We'll let the river run


[Verso 3]
E
   Always the bride's maid, never 
the bride, hey
F#
   Fuck can I say, if life was a 
highway
E
   The sequel's an enclave, I'll be 
swerving in five lanes
G#m                      F#
   Speeds at a high rate like I'm 
sliding on ice maybe
E
   That's why I'm made, that came at
 you sideways
G#m
   I can't keep my lies straight

         E
What I made you terminate my baby
              G#m
This love triangle left us in a 
wreck tangled
                E
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 an 
unborn child?

    F#   G#m                 B   
All my sins need holy water, feel
    E

     F#        G#m                
Well little one, (I'm sorry) I 
                    B         E
don't want to admit to something (I 
fucked up)
                           F#   
If all it's gonna cause is pain,
G#m                    B        
   the truth in my lies now are 
E
falling like the rain
           F#
So let the river run (river run, 
river run, river run)
