[F/C] & [F], and [F5/C] & [F5] are interchangeable
Personally I just find it easier to not play the low E string so I use F/C and F5/C.

Intro
[Dm] [F] [F5] [C]
Verse
[Dm] [F]
Still got the flowers that you sent
[F5] [C]
And the note you wrote that said we were meant, to be forever
[Dm] [F]
I keep them all as evidence
[F5] [C]
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
[Dm]
I don't know why, I keep
[F]
Letting you lie to me
[F5]
Hard as I try, it seems
[C]
I can't break away
[Dm]
I thought that you would be the hero
[F]
Come and save the day
[F5]
But you're a villain
[C]
Your sins unforgiven
Chorus
[Dm] [F]
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
[F5] [C]
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
[Dm] [F]
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
[F5] [C]
The river of tears has washed me clean
[Dm] [F]
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] [F]
So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
[F5] [C]
In a river of tears, In a river of tears
Verse 2
[Dm] [F]
I catch your scent in every wind
[F5] [C]
And I recall the love we had, I can't pretend
[Dm] [F]
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] [F]
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
[F]
Then it builds you coffins
[F5]
And far too often
[C]
We end up falling to our demise
Chorus
[Dm] [F]
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
[F5] [C]
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
[Dm] [F]
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
[F5] [C]
The river of tears has washed me clean
[Dm] [F]
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] [F]
So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
[F5] [C]
In a river of tears, In a river of tears
Bridge
[F5] [F] [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
[F]
Everything that you are
[C] [F]
And I believe that you are everything I needed
[F5]
But I don't need no more
Chorus
[Dm] [F]
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
[F5] [C]
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
[Dm] [F]
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
[F5] [C]
The river of tears has washed me clean
[Dm] [F]
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] [F]
So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
[F5] [C]
In a river of tears, In a river of tears
Hope you like it!
