Verse: Ebm7 B Still got the flowers that you sent Gb Db And the note you wrote that said we're meant to be forever Ebm7 B I keep them all as evidence Gb Db In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises Abm7 I don't know why Ebm7 I keep letting you lie to me Gb Hard as I try Db It seems I can't break away Ebm7 I thought that you would be the hero B Come and save the day Gb But you're a villain Db Your sins unforgiven Chorus: Ebm7 B I'm going down, and you have watched me drown Gb Db In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream Ebm7 B Under the waves, I've found the strength to say Gb Db The river of tears has washed me clean Abm7 Go 'head and wish me well Ebm I'll cry a wishing well Gb I'll fly before I fail Db Ebm7 I'll set sail and drift away B So I won't need you here Gb Love sinks and hope floats Db In a river of tears In a river of tears Verse: Ebm7 B I catch your scent in every wind Gb And I recall the love we had Db Ebm7 I can't pretend that I B Don't miss you every now and then Gb But the hurt is for the better Db Moving on, it's now or never Abm7 Ebm7 Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry Gb Like there's a sea in my eyes Db Ebm7 I realise that sometimes love brings you flowers B Then it builds you coffins Gb And far too often Db We end up falling to our demise Chorus: Ebm7 B I'm going down, and you have watched me drown Gb Db In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream Ebm7 B Under the waves, I've found the strength to say Gb Db The river of tears has washed me clean Abm7 Go 'head and wish me well Ebm I'll cry a wishing well Gb I'll fly before I fail Db Ebm7 I'll set sail and drift away B So I won't need you here Gb Love sinks and hope floats Db In a river of tears In a river of tears Bridge: Ebm7 Db Gb Cry me a river, build myself a bridge Abm7 B I'm over this, can't let memories become the death of me Ebm7 Db Gb I'm glad to see everything that you are Abm7 B And I believe that you are everything I needed But I don't need no more Chorus: Ebm7 B I'm going down, and you have watched me drown Gb Db In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream Ebm7 B Under the waves, I've found the strength to say Gb Db The river of tears has washed me clean Abm7 Go 'head and wish me well Ebm I'll cry a wishing well Gb I'll fly before I fail Db Ebm7 I'll set sail and drift away B So I won't need you here Gb Love sinks and hope floats Db In a river of tears In a river of tears This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
