River Of Tears

[Primeira Parte]

Dm                             Bb
Still got the flowers that you sent
        F                               C
And the note you wrote that said we were meant, to be forever
Dm                    Bb
I keep them all as evidence
     F                                   C
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
Bb
I don't know why, I keep
Dm
Letting you lie to me
F
Hard as I try, it seems
C
I can't break away
               Dm
I thought that you would be the hero
          Bb
Come and save the day
                    F
But you're a villain
                    C
Your sins unforgiven

[Refrão]

             Dm                              Bb
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
                  F                       C
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
              Dm                               Bb
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
                 F5                  C
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm                         Bb
 Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well
F5                      C
 I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away
Dm                        Bb
 So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
F5                   C
 In a river of tears, In a river of tears

[Segunda Parte]

Dm                          Bb
I catch your scent in every wind
        F5                               C
And I recall the love we had, I can't pretend
     Dm                             Bb
That I don't miss you every now and then
        F5
But the hurt is for the better
       C
Moving on, it's now or never
Dm                            Bb
Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry
               F5
Like there's a sea in my eyes
         C
I realize that sometimes
                      Dm
love brings you flowers
                         Bb
Then it builds you coffins
                 F5
And far too often
                 C
We end up falling to our demise

[Refrão]

             Dm                              Bb
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
                  F5                       C
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
              Dm                               Bb
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
                 F5                  C
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm                         Bb
 Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well
F5                      C
 I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away
Dm                        Bb
 So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
F5                   C
 In a river of tears, In a river of tears

[Ponte]

Bb                      C                 F5   C
Cry me a river, build myself a bridge, I'm over this
F5
 Can't let memories become the death of me, I'm glad to see
Dm
 Everything that you are
F                          F
 And I believe that you are everything I needed
                        C
But I don't need no more

[Refrão]

             Dm                             Bb
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
                  F5                       C
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
              Dm                               Bb
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
                 F5                  C
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm                         Bb
 Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well
F5                      C
 I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away
Dm                        Bb
 So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
F5                   C
 In a river of tears, In a river of tears
