Chords

[Intro] B C# D#m G# [Verse 1]
B
Ev'ry body tells me its 'bout

C#
Time that I moved on

       D#m
that I need to learn to lighten up and

C#
learn how to be young

    B
but my heart is a valley

        C#
it's so shallow and manmade

    D#m
I'm scared to death if I let you in

            C#
that you'll see I'm just a fake

B
Sometimes I feel lonely in the

C#
arms of your touch

      D#m
but I know thats just me 'cause

        C#
nothing ever is enough

B
When I was a child I grew up

C#
by the River Lea

          D#m
there was something in the water

         C#
now that something's in me
[Pre-Chorus]
           B     C#
Oh I can't go  back

          D#m
but the reeds are growing

            C#
out of my fingertips

         B    C#
I can't go back

        G#
to the river
[Chorus]
               D#m
But it's in my roots

      C#
in my veins it's in my blood

      D#m
and I stain

                   C#
ev'ry heart that I use

               G#
to heal the pain

               D#m
Oh it's in my roots

      C#
in my veins it's in my blood

      D#m
and I stain

                   C#
ev'ry heart that I use

               G#
to heal the pain

                     D#m
So I blame it on the River Lea

    C#
the River Lea
the River Lea
D#m
Yeah I blame it on the River Lea

    C#
the River Lea

    G#
the River Lea...
[Verse 2]
B
I should prob'ly tell now

  C#
before it's way too late

       D#m
that I never meant to hurt you

      C#
or to lie straight to your face

   B
Consider this my apology

            C#
I know it's years in advance

        D#m
but I'd rather say it now

          C#
in case I never get the chance
[Pre-Chorus]
            B     C#
NO I can't go back

          D#m
but the reeds are growing

            C#
out of my fingertips

         B    C#
I can't go back

        G#
to the river
[Chorus]
               D#m
But it's in my roots

      C#
in my veins it's in my blood

      D#m
and I stain

                   C#
ev'ry heart that I use

               G#
to heal the pain

               D#m
Oh it's in my roots

      C#
in my veins it's in my blood

      D#m
and I stain

                   C#
ev'ry heart that I use

               G#
to heal the pain

                     D#m
So I blame it on the River Lea
