Verse
[A] [E]
I thought I told you, he'd be home soon
[A] [E]
Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true.
[A] [E]
I fall short each time, every time he ain't here,
[A] [E]
You and your charm creep closer, closer in here.
[F#m] [D]
Like a fool for fire I fall, with my pride and all.
[B7]
Like a bomb before explosion,
[E]
Ticking by your call.
[A] [E]
You're the wiser one, disguised from greed,
[F#m] [D] [E]
And I'm just a child who belongs on her knees.
Chorus
[D] [C#]
But I found a boy who I love more,
[F#m]
Than I ever did you before,
[D] [C#]
So stand beside the river I cried,
[F#m] [D] [Bm]
And let yourself down.
Verse
[A] [E]
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
[A] [E]
So, you thought that I would crumble to my knees
[F#m] [D]
At the first sight of you, crawling back to me
[E] [F#m]
To whisper 'will you leave your man?'
[D] [E] [A]
Cause you sweared that this time you can stand by me.
[E]
I won't stand by you.
Chorus
[D] [C#]
But I found a boy who I love more,
[F#m]
Than I ever did you before,
[D] [C#]
So stand beside the river I cried,
[F#m] [D] [Bm]
And let yourself down.
Verse
[F]
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
[Dm6]
I ain't yours for no taking,
[E]
You must be mistaken
[A]
I could never look in your eyes, and settle for wrong
And ignore the right
Chorus
[D] [C#]
But I found a boy who loves me more,
[F#m]
Than you ever did before,
[D] [C#]
So stand beside the river you’ll cry,
[F#m] [D] [Bm]
And let yourself down.
[A] [E] [A]
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
