[Intro]
Em G D A

[Verse 1]
     Em                    G
You are, brittle like the wind
          D                       
But I can, see right through your 
A
skin.
             Em                 G
Well you've got such beautiful bones
       D                           
And I love you like a river loves a
  A
 stone.
   Em                G
I am, fickle as I'm thin
            D                    
I shut you out, but you still got 
  A
in.
         Em                      
My worst intentions have all been 
         G
overthrown
           D                   
And now I love you like a river 
          A
loves a stone.


[Chorus]
           Em                  
Oh yeah I love you like a river 
           G
loves a stone.
    D                          
I love you like a river loves a 
   A
stone.
           Em                  
Oh yeah I love you like a river 
           G
loves a stone.
Continues after the ad
    D                          
I love you like a river loves a 
   A
stone.


[Verse 2]
     Em                      G
You are, brittle but you'll bend
        D                      
And I may, break you but you'll 
  A
mend.
          Em                       
Well you paint me with such subtle 
 G
tones
       D                           
And I love you like a river loves a
  A
 stone.
     Em                       
We are, brilliant though we're 
   G
flawed
       D                
I wish you'd be a little 
         A
self-assured.
           Em                      
Your best intentions, have all been
         G
 overthrown
            D                  
And now I love you like a river 
           A
loves a stone.


[Chorus]
           Em                  
Oh yeah I love you like a river 
           G
loves a stone.
    D                          
I love you like a river loves a 
   A
stone.
           Em                  
Oh yeah I love you like a river 
           G
loves a stone.
    D                          
I love you like a river loves a 
   A
stone.

[Interlude]
Em G D A


[Bridge]
              Em                 
Well I could sit and stare at you 
       G
for hours
         D                    A
Like a bouquet of funeral flowers
          Em                G
But every leaf is painted black
           D                   A
And every petal is as pale as wax.


[Chorus]
           Em                  
Oh yeah I love you like a river 
           G
loves a stone.
    D                          
I love you like a river loves a 
   A
stone.
           Em                  
Oh yeah I love you like a river 
           G
loves a stone.
    D                          
I love you like a river loves a 
   A
stone.
