[INTRO] D#m B F# C# [VERSE 1]
D#m                             B
 Still got the flowers that you sent

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

D#m                    B
 I keep them all as evidence

      F#                                   C#
 In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
[PRE-CHORUS 1]
 G#m 
 I don't know why

        D#m
 I keep letting you lie to me

 F#
 Hard as I try

            C#
 It seems I can't break away

                D#m
 I thought that you would be the hero

          B
 Come and save the day

              F#
 But you're a villain

                C#
 Your sins unforgiven
[CHORUS]
           D#m                                   B
 I'm going down, and you have watched me drown

               F#                      C#
 In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream

           D#m                                     B
 Under the waves, I've found the strength to say

              F#                  C#
 The river of tears has washed me clean
[POST-CHORUS]
G#m 
 Go ahead and wish me well

D#m
 I'll cry a wishing well

F#
 I'll fly before I fail

C#                        D#m
 I'll set sail and drift away

                           B
 So I won't need you here

                             F#
 Love sinks and hope floats

               C#
 In a river of tears

               D#m
 In a river of tears
[VERSE 2]
D#m                          B
 I catch your scent in every wind

         F#         
 And I recall the love we had

            C#
 I can't pretend that I 

D#m                           B
 Don't miss you every now and then

         F#
 But the hurt is for the better

        C#
 Moving on, it's now or never
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
G#m                             D#m
 Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry

                F#
 Like there's a sea in my eyes

          C#                              D#m
 I realise that sometimes love brings you flowers

         B
 Then it builds you coffins

                   F#
 And far too often

                   C#
 We end up falling to our demise
[CHORUS]
           D#m                                   B
 I'm going down, and you have watched me drown

               F#                      C#
 In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream

           D#m                                     B
 Under the waves, I've found the strength to say

              F#                  C#
 The river of tears has washed me clean
[POST-CHORUS]
G#m 
 Go ahead and wish me well

D#m
 I'll cry a wishing well

F#
 I'll fly before I fail

C#                        D#m
 I'll set sail and drift away

                           B
 So I won't need you here

                             F#
 Love sinks and hope floats

               C#
 In a river of tears

               D#m
 In a river of tears
[BRIDGE]
D#m       C#           F#
 Cry me a river, build myself a bridge

          G#m             B
 I'm over this, can't let memories become the death of me

             D#m      C#                F#
 I'm glad to see everything that you are

         G#m              B
 And I believe that you are everything I needed

                     D#m
 But I don't need no more
[CHORUS]
           D#m                                   B
 I'm going down, and you have watched me drown

               F#                      C#
 In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream

           D#m                                     B
 Under the waves, I've found the strength to say

              F#                  C#
 The river of tears has washed me clean
[POST-CHORUS]
G#m 
 Go ahead and wish me well

D#m
 I'll cry a wishing well

F#
 I'll fly before I fail

C#                        D#m
 I'll set sail and drift away

                           B
 So I won't need you here

                             F#
 Love sinks and hope floats

               C#
 In a river of tears

               D#m
 In a river of tears
