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