Chords with lyrics

Chorus:
       E minorEm
I've been a liar, been a thief
G+G   C/GC/G
Been a lover, been a cheat
  D/AD/A E minorEm
All my sins need holy water
G+G    C/GC/G
Feel it washin' over me
  D/AD/A    E minorEm           G+G     C/GC/G
Oh, little one, I don't wanna admit to somethin'
              D/AD/A  E minorEm
If all it's gonna cause is pain
         G+G       C/GC/G
Truth in my lies right now are fallin' like the rain
      D/AD/A
So let the river run

Verse 1:
E minorEm                      G+G
He's comin' home with his neck scratched, to catch flack
C/GC/G               D/AD/A
Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatch
E minorEm
On his breath's Jack is a sex addict
  G+G         C/GC/G      A5A5      D/F#D/F#
And she just wants to exact revenge and get back
    E minorEm                  G+G
It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jetpack
   C/GC/G
She's kept track of all his Internet chats
  D/AD/A      E minorEm
And guess who just happens to be movin' on to the next?
 G+G      C/GC/G              A5A5      D/F#D/F#
Actually, just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks
E minorEm            G+G      C/GC/G
'Cause she loves danger, psychopath
                      D/AD/A      E minorEm
And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even I know that

But she's devised some plan
      G+G      C/GC/G
To stab him in the back, knife in hand
       A5A5         D/F#D/F#    E minorEm
Says the relationship's hangin' by a strand
                G+G
So she's been on the web lately
   C/GC/G                D/AD/A      E minorEm
Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man
               G+G
And I know she's usin' me to try to play him
C/GC/G
I don't care, hi Susanne, but I shoulda said bye Susanne

After the first night, but tonight I am

Chorus:
      E minorEm
I've been a liar, been a thief
G+G   C/GC/G
Been a lover, been a cheat
  D/AD/A E minorEm
All my sins need holy water
G+G    C/GC/G     A5A5
Feel it washin' over me
       E minorEm            G+G     C/GC/G
Oh, little one, I don't wanna admit to somethin'
              D/AD/A  E minorEm
If all it's gonna cause is pain
        G+G    C/GC/G          A5A5
Truth in my lies now are fallin' like the rain

So let the river run

Verse 2:
E minorEm
One-night stand, turned into night stayin'
G+G       C/GC/G                 D/AD/A
He was callin' so might scram, now we hug tight and
     E minorEm                  G+G
He found out, now she feels deserted and used
      C/GC/G          A5A5        D/F#D/F#
'Cause he left, so what? He did it first to her too
  E minorEm                           G+G
Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through?
   C/GC/G                     D/AD/A
It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous, ensued
      E minorEm
And witnessed you hurt, but what you deserve is the truth
    G+G      C/GC/G              A5A5      D/F#D/F#
Don't take it personal, I just can't say this in person to you
E minorEm                 G+G      C/GC/G
So I revert to the studio like hole-in-the-wall diners
                   D/AD/A
Don't have to be reserved in a booth
 E minorEm                        G+G
I just feel like the person who I'm turnin' into's
  C/GC/G                 A5A5        D/F#D/F#
Irreversible, I preyed on you like it's church at the pew
        E minorEm
And now that I got you I don't want you
        G+G       C/GC/G
Took advantage of my thirst to pursue
                 D/AD/A
Why do I do this dirt that I do?
     E minorEm                    G+G
Get on my soapbox and preach, my sermon and speech
     C/GC/G
Detergent and bleach is burnin' the wound
N.C.
'Cause now with her in the womb
N.C.
We can't bring her in this world, shoulda knew
N.C.
To use protection 'fore I bit into your forbidden fruit
Fuck!

Chorus:
      E minorEm
I've been a liar, been a thief
G+G   C/GC/G
Been a lover, been a cheat
  D/AD/A E minorEm
All my sins need holy water
G+G    C/GC/G     A5A5
Feel it washin' over me
       E minorEm            G+G     C/GC/G
Oh, little one, I don't wanna admit to somethin'
              D/AD/A  E minorEm
If all it's gonna cause is pain
        G+G    C/GC/G          A5A5
Truth in my lies now are fallin' like the rain

So let the river run

Bridge:
E minorEm        G+G
My name's (ooh), my name's (ooh)
C/GC/G
Denver (ooh), river run
E minorEm       G+G
Call me (ooh), call me (ooh)
C/GC/G
River (ooh), we'll let the river run

Verse 3:
C/GC/G                       D MajorD
Always the bridesmaid, never â??The bride, hey!
                   C/GC/G
Fuck can I say? If life was a highway
                            C/GC/G
The seat was an enclave, I'd be swervin' in five lanes
            D MajorD               C/GC/G
Speeds at a high rate, like I'm sliding on ice, maybe
                      D MajorD
That's why I may have came at you sideways

I can't keep my lies straight
     C/GC/G
What I made you terminate, my baby
       D MajorD
This love triangle, left us in a wreck, tangled
        C/GC/G
What else can I say? It was fun for a while
N.C.
Bet I really woulda loved your smile
N.C.
Didn't really wanna abort, but fuck it
N.C
What's one more lie, to tell an unborn child?

Chorus:
      E minorEm
I've been a liar, been a thief
G+G   C/GC/G
Been a lover, been a cheat
  D/AD/A E minorEm
All my sins need holy water
G+G    C/GC/G     A5A5
Feel it washin' over me
       E minorEm            G+G     C/GC/G
Well, little one, I don't wanna admit to somethin'
              D/AD/A  E minorEm
If all it's gonna cause is pain
        G+G    C/GC/G
Truth in my lies now are fallin' like the rain
      D/AD/A
