Verso 1:
Dm                             F
Still got the flowers that you sent
        F5                               C
And the note you wrote that said we were meant, to be forever
Dm                    F
I keep them all as evidence
     F5                                   C
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
Dm
I don't know why, I keep
F
Letting you lie to me
F5
Hard as I try, it seems
C
I can't break away
               Dm
I thought that you would be the hero
          F
Come and save the day
                    F5
But you're a villain
                    C
Your sins unforgiven
Refrão:
             Dm                              F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
                  F5                       C
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
              Dm                               F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
                 F5                  C
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm                         F
 Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well
F5                      C
 I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away
Dm                        F
 So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
F5                   C
 In a river of tears, In a river of tears
Verso 2:
Dm                          F
I catch your scent in every wind
        F5                               C
And I recall the love we had, I can't pretend
     Dm                             F
That I don't miss you every now and then
        F5
But the hurt is for the better
       C
Moving on, it's now or never
Dm                            F
Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry
               F5
Like there's a sea in my eyes
         C
I realize that sometimes 
                      Dm
love brings you flowers
                          F
Then it builds you coffins
                 F5
And far too often
                 C
We end up falling to our demise
Refrão:
             Dm                              F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
                  F5                       C
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
              Dm                               F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
                 F5                  C
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm                         F
 Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well
F5                      C
 I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away
Dm                        F
 So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
F5                   C
 In a river of tears, In a river of tears
Ponte:
F5                       F                 F5   C
Cry me a river, build myself a Bridge, I'm over this
F5
 Can't let memories become the death of me, I'm glad to see
F
 Everything that you are
C                          F
 And I believe that you are everything I needed
                        F5
But I don't need no more
Refrão?
             Dm                              F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
                  F5                       C
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
              Dm                               F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
                 F5                  C
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm                         F
 Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well
F5                      C
 I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away
Dm                        F
 So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
F5                   C
 In a river of tears, In a river of tears
