Intro
Bm D G
I've been a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
A Bm D G
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me
A Bm D G
Well little one, I don't want to admit to something
A Bm D G
If all it's gonna cause is pain, truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain
A
So let the river run
[Verse 1]
Bm D
He's comin' home with his neck scratched to catch flack
G A
Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatched
Bm D
On his breath's Jack, he's a sex addict and she just wants to
G E5 A
Exact revenge and get back
Bm D
It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jet-pack
G A
She's kept track of all his Internet chats and guess who just
Bm D
Happens to be movin' on to the next actually
G E5 A
Just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks
Bm D
'Cause she loves danger, psychopath
G A
And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even I know that
Bm D
But she's devised some plan to stab him in the back
G E5 A
Knife in hand, says the relationship's hangin' by a strand
Bm D
So she's been on the web lately
G A
Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man
Bm D
And I know she's using me to try to play him
G
I don't care, "hi Suzanne", but I shoulda said "bye Suzanne"
After the first night, but tonight I am
[Chorus 1]
Bm D G
I've been a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
A Bm D G E5
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me

Well little one, I don't want to admit to something
A Bm D G
If all it's gonna cause is pain, truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
E5
So let the river run
[Verse 2]
Bm D
One-night stand turned to a two-night stand, it was
G A
"Come sunlight, scram," now we hug tight and
Bm D
He found out, now she feels deserted and used
G E5 A
'Cause he left, so what, he did it first to her too
Bm D
Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through?
G A
It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous and Sue
Bm
Don't want this to hurt but what you deserve is the truth
D G E5 A
Don't take it personal, I just can't say this in person to you
Bm D G
So I revert to the studio like hole-in-the-wall diners
A
Don't have to be reserved in a booth
Bm D
I just feel like the person who I'm turnin' into's
G E5 A
Irreversible, I preyed on you like it's church at the pew
Bm
And now that I got you I don't want you
D G
Took advantage in my thirst to pursue
A
Why do I do this dirt that I do?
Bm D
Get on my soapbox and preach, my sermon and speech
G
Detergent and bleach is burnin' the wound
'Cause now with her in the womb
We can't bring her in this world, shoulda knew
To use protection 'fore I bit into your forbidden fruit
[Chorus 2]
Bm D G
I've been (fuck!) a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
A Bm D G E5
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me
Bm D G
Well little one, I don't want to admit to something
A Bm D G
If all it's gonna cause is pain, truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
E5
So let the river run
[Bridge]
Bm D G
My name's (oh-oh), my name's (oh-oh) Denver (oh-oh), river run
Bm D G
Just call me (oh-oh), call me (oh-oh) River (oh-oh)
N.C.
We'll let the river run
[Verse 3]
G
Always the bridesmaid, never "the bride, hey"
A5
Fuck can I say, if life was a highway
G
And deceit was an enclave, I'd be swerving in five lanes
Bm A5
Speeds at a high rate like I'm slidin' on ice maybe
G
That's why I'm may have came at you sideways
A5
I can't keep my lies straight
Bm
But I made you terminate my baby
Bm
This love triangle left us in a wreck, tangled
G
What else can I say, it was fun for a while, bet I really woulda loved your smile
Didn't really wanna abort but fuck it, what's one more lie to tell our unborn child?
[Chorus 3]
Bm D G
I've been a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
A Bm D G
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me
A Bm D G
Well little one, (I’m sorry) I don't want to admit to something (I fucked up)
A Bm D G
If all it's gonna cause is pain, the truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
A
So let the river run (river run, river run, river run)
