Chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard
Capo on 6th fret
Am7Am7 
FF
Still got the flowers that you sent
C majorC 
G+G
And the note you wrote that said we’re meant to be forever
Am7Am7 FF
I keep them all as evidence
C majorC G+G
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
Dm7Dm7
I don’t know why
Am7Am7
I keep letting you lie to me
C majorC
Hard as I try
G+G
It seems I can’t break away
Am7Am7
I thought that you would be the hero
FF
Come and save the day
C majorC
But you’re a villain
G+G
Your sins unforgiven
Am7Am7 FF
I’m going down, and you have watched me drown
C majorC G+G
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Am7Am7 FF
Under the waves, I’ve found the strength to say
C majorC G+G
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm7Dm7
Go ’head and wish me well
A minorAm
I’ll cry a wishing well
C majorC
I’ll fly before I fail
G+G Am7Am7
I’ll set sail and drift away
FF
So I won’t need you here
C majorC
Love sinks and hope floats
G+G
In a river of tears
In a river of tears
Am7Am7 FF
I catch your scent in every wind
C majorC
And I recall the love we had
G+G Am7Am7
I can’t pretend that I
FF
Don’t miss you every now and then
C majorC
But the hurt is for the better
G+G
Moving on, it’s now or never
Dm7Dm7 Am7Am7
Lost in the tide, I can’t keep my pillows dry
C majorC
Like there’s a sea in my eyes
G+G Am7Am7
I realise that sometimes love brings you flowers
FF
Then it builds you coffins
C majorC
And far too often
G+G
We end up falling to our demise
Am7Am7 FF
I’m going down, and you have watched me drown
C majorC G+G
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Am7Am7 FF
Under the waves, I’ve found the strength to say
C majorC G+G
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm7Dm7
Go ’head and wish me well
A minorAm
I’ll cry a wishing well
C majorC
I’ll fly before I fail
G+G Am7Am7
I’ll set sail and drift away
FF
So I won’t need you here
C majorC
Love sinks and hope floats
G+G
In a river of tears
In a river of tears
Am7Am7 G+G C majorC
Cry me a river, build myself a bridge
Dm7Dm7 FF
I’m over this, can’t let memories become the death of me
Am7Am7 G+G C majorC
I’m glad to see everything that you are
Dm7Dm7 FF
And I believe that you are everything I needed
But I don’t need no more
Am7Am7 FF
I’m going down, and you have watched me drown
C majorC G+G
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Am7Am7 FF
Under the waves, I’ve found the strength to say
C majorC G+G
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm7Dm7
Go ’head and wish me well
A minorAm
I’ll cry a wishing well
C majorC
I’ll fly before I fail
G+G Am7Am7
I’ll set sail and drift away
FF
So I won’t need you here
C majorC
Love sinks and hope floats
G+G
In a river of tears
In a river of tears
