------------          -----------
G -- 3-2-0-0-3-3 C -- 3-3-2-0-1-0 F -- 1-3-3-2-1-1 (Not quite right, closest chord I had) Am -- 0-0-2-2-1-0 Am7 -- 0-0-2-0-1-0 Dm7 -- 0-0-0-2-1-1 [Verse]
Am7                            F
Still got the flowers that you sent

        C                               G
And the note you wrote that said we're meant to be forever

Am7                        F
I keep them all as evidence

      C                                    G
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises

Dm7
I don't know why

       Am7
I keep letting you lie to me

C
Hard as I try

           G
It seems I can't break away

               Am7
I thought that you would be the hero

         F
Come and save the day

                  C
But you're a villain

                  G
Your sins unforgiven
[Chorus]
          Am7                                F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown

              C                        G
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream

          Am7                                   F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say

              C                    G
The river of tears has washed me clean

Dm7
Go 'head and wish me well

Am
I'll cry a wishing well

C
I'll fly before I fail

G                       Am7
I'll set sail and drift away

                       F
So I won't need you here

                         C
Love sinks and hope floats

                  G
In a river of tears
In a river of tears [Verse]
Am7                         F
I catch your scent in every wind

         C         
And I recall the love we had

         G             Am7
I can't pretend that I 

                             F
Don't miss you every now and then

        C
But the hurt is for the better

        G
Moving on, it's now or never

Dm7                            Am7
Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry

               C
Like there's a sea in my eyes

      G                                   Am7
I realise that sometimes love brings you flowers

                     F
Then it builds you coffins

               C
And far too often

                  G
We end up falling to our demise
[Chorus]
          Am7                                F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown

              C                        G
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream

          Am7                                   F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say

              C                    G
The river of tears has washed me clean

Dm7
Go 'head and wish me well

Am
I'll cry a wishing well

C
I'll fly before I fail

G                       Am7
I'll set sail and drift away

                       F
So I won't need you here

                         C
Love sinks and hope floats

                  G
In a river of tears
In a river of tears [Bridge]
Am7       G           C
Cry me a river, build myself a bridge

         Dm7           F
I'm over this, can't let memories become the death of me

            Am7        G            C
I'm glad to see everything that you are

         Dm7               F
And I believe that you are everything I needed
But I don't need no more [Chorus]
Am7                                          F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown

              C                        G
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream

          Am7                                   F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say

              C                    G
The river of tears has washed me clean

Dm7
Go 'head and wish me well

Am
I'll cry a wishing well

C
I'll fly before I fail

G                       Am7
I'll set sail and drift away

                       F
So I won't need you here

                         C
Love sinks and hope floats

                  G
In a river of tears
