River

            Em
I've been a liar, been a thief
 G6     C
Been a lover, been a cheat
     C#m/B  Em                    G6      C
All my     sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me
   C#m/B  Em                             G6   C
A little  one, I don't want to admit to something
                            C#m/B   Em
If all it's gonna cause is pain
                  G6            C
Truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain
            C#m/B
So let the river run

 Em                                          G6
He's coming home with his neck scratched to catch flack
  C                              C#m/B
Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatch
Em
On his breast jackets is sex addict
G6                      C                Am  C#m/B
And she just wants to exact revenge and get back
         Em                                   G6
It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jetpack
  C
She's kept track of all his internet chats
      C#m/B               Em
And guess who just so happens to be moving on to the next?
G6               C                            Am             C#m/B
Actually, just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks
  Em                       G6
'Cause she loves danger, psychopath
C                                      C#m/B
And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even I know that
 Em                                  G6         C
But she's devised some plan to stab him in the back
                             Am                 C#m/B
Knife in hand, says the relationship's hanging by a strand
 Em
So she's been on the web lately
 G6   C                                  C#m/B
Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man
Em                             G6                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
 G6     C
Been a lover, been a cheat
     C#m/B  Em                    G6      C
All my     sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me

So let the river run

Em                                  G6
One night stand turned into night stayin'
              C                                    C#m/B
It was cold, some lights gram, y'all be hung tight and
         Em                              G6
He found out, now she feels deserted and used
           C                        Am           C#m/B
'Cause he left, so what? He did it first to her too
     Em                                               G6
Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through?
      C                                               C#m/B
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
               G6   C                             Am        C#m/B
Don't take it personal, I just can't say this in person to you
 Em                             G6          C
So I revert to the studio like Hole In The Wall diners
                                C#m/B
Don't have to be reserved in a booth
   Em                                       G6
I just feel like the person who I'm turnin' into is
     C                                    Am           C#m/B
Irreversible, I prayed on you like it's church at the pew
                Em
And now that I got you I don't want you
               G6               C
Took advantage of my thirst to pursue
                              C#m/B
Why do I do this dirt that I do?
           Em                                G6
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
 G6     C
Been a lover, been a cheat
     C#m/B  Em                    G6      C
All my     sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me
   C#m/B  Em                             G6   C

                  G6            C
Truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain
            C#m/B
So let the river run

Em  G6  C
Ooh Ohh Ohh
Em  G6  C
Ooh Ohh Ohh

C                                       C#m/B
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
                        C#m/B                   C
Speeds at a high rate, like I'm sliding on ice made
                                    Em
Thats what I made, came at you sideways
                        C#m/B                        C
I can't keep my lies straight, What I made you terminate my baby
            Em                      C#m/B
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
 G6     C
Been a lover, been a cheat
     C#m/B  Em                    G6      C
All my     sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me
   C#m/B  Em                             G6   C
A little  one, I don't want to admit to something
                            C#m/B   Em
If all it's gonna cause is pain
                  G6            C
Truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain
            Em
So let the river run
