[Verse]
F C
I thought I told you, he'd be home soon
F C
Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true.
F C
I fall short each time, every time he ain't here,
F C
You and your charm creep closer, closer in here.
Dm A#
Like a fool for fire I fall, with my pride and all.
G7
Like a bomb before explosion,
C
Ticking by your call.
F C
You're the wiser one, disguised from greed,
Dm A# C
And I'm just a child who belongs on her knees.
[Chorus]
A# A
But I found a boy who I love more,
Dm
Than I ever did you before,
A# A
So stand beside the river I cried,
Dm A# Gm
And let yourself down.
[Verse]
F C
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
F C
So, you thought that I would crumble to my knees
Dm A#
At the first sight of you, crawling back to me
C Dm
To whisper 'will you leave your man?'
A# C F
Cause you sweared that this time you can stand by me.
C
I won't stand by you.
[Chorus]
A# A
But I found a boy who I love more,
Dm
Than I ever did you before,
A# A
So stand beside the river I cried,
Dm A# Gm
And let yourself down.
[Verse]
C#
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
A#m6
I ain't yours for no taking,
C
You must be mistaken
F
I could never look in your eyes, and settle for wrong
And ignore the right
[Chorus]
A# A
But I found a boy who loves me more,
Dm
Than you ever did before,
A# A
So stand beside the river you’ll cry,
Dm A# Gm
And let yourself down.
F C F
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
A#m6
