Verse:
Ebm7 B
Still got the flowers that you sent
Gb Db
And the note you wrote that said we're meant to be forever
Ebm7 B
I keep them all as evidence
Gb Db
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
Abm7
I don't know why
Ebm7
I keep letting you lie to me
Gb
Hard as I try
Db
It seems I can't break away
Ebm7
I thought that you would be the hero
B
Come and save the day
Gb
But you're a villain
Db
Your sins unforgiven
Chorus:
Ebm7 B
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
Gb Db
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Ebm7 B
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
Gb Db
The river of tears has washed me clean
Abm7
Go 'head and wish me well
Ebm
I'll cry a wishing well
Gb
I'll fly before I fail
Db Ebm7
I'll set sail and drift away
B
So I won't need you here
Gb
Love sinks and hope floats
Db
In a river of tears
In a river of tears
Verse:
Ebm7 B
I catch your scent in every wind
Gb
And I recall the love we had
Db Ebm7
I can't pretend that I
B
Don't miss you every now and then
Gb
But the hurt is for the better
Db
Moving on, it's now or never
Abm7 Ebm7
Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry
Gb
Like there's a sea in my eyes
Db Ebm7
I realise that sometimes love brings you flowers
B
Then it builds you coffins
Gb
And far too often
Db
We end up falling to our demise
Chorus:
Ebm7 B
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
Gb Db
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Ebm7 B
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
Gb Db
The river of tears has washed me clean
Abm7
Go 'head and wish me well
Ebm
I'll cry a wishing well
Gb
I'll fly before I fail
Db Ebm7
I'll set sail and drift away
B
So I won't need you here
Gb
Love sinks and hope floats
Db
In a river of tears
In a river of tears
Bridge:
Ebm7 Db Gb
Cry me a river, build myself a Bridge
Abm7 B
I'm over this, can't let memories become the death of me
Ebm7 Db Gb
I'm glad to see everything that you are
Abm7 B
And I believe that you are everything I needed
But I don't need no more
Chorus:
Ebm7 B
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
Gb Db
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Ebm7 B
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
Gb Db
The river of tears has washed me clean
Abm7
Go 'head and wish me well
Ebm
I'll cry a wishing well
Gb
I'll fly before I fail
Db Ebm7
I'll set sail and drift away
B
So I won't need you here
Gb
Love sinks and hope floats
Db
In a river of tears
In a river of tears
