[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
In a river of tears
NOTE: I couldn't quite figure out a few of the chords (The F for example) so I have gone with the basic
chords. If you do come up with something better then please do let me know and I'll stick it in! :)
