[Verse]
D A
I thought I told you, he'd be home soon
D A
Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true.
D A
I fall short each time, every time he ain't here,
D A
You and your charm creep closer, closer in here.
Bm G
Like a fool for fire I fall, with my pride and all.
E7
Like a bomb before explosion,
A
Ticking by your call.
D A
You're the wiser one, disguised from greed,
Bm G A
And I'm just a child who belongs on her knees.
[Chorus]
G F#
But I found a boy who I love more,
Bm
Than I ever did you before,
G F#
So stand beside the river I cried,
Bm G Em
And let yourself down.
[Verse]
D A
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
D A
So, you thought that I would crumble to my knees
Bm G
At the first sight of you, crawling back to me
A Bm
To whisper 'will you leave your man?'
G A D
Cause you sweared that this time you can stand by me.
A
I won't stand by you.
[Chorus]
G F#
But I found a boy who I love more,
Bm
Than I ever did you before,
G F#
So stand beside the river I cried,
Bm G Em
And let yourself down.
[Verse]
A#
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
Gm6
I ain't yours for no taking,
A
You must be mistaken
D
I could never look in your eyes, and settle for wrong
And ignore the right
[Chorus]
G F#
But I found a boy who loves me more,
Bm
Than you ever did before,
G F#
So stand beside the river you’ll cry,
Bm G Em
And let yourself down.
D A D
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
Gm6
