Capo on fret 4 |
Em |
I've been a liar, been a thief |
G C |
Been a lover, been a cheat |
D Em |
All my sins need holy water, |
G C |
Feel it washin' over me |
Am Em |
A little one, |
G C |
I don't want to admit to something |
D Em |
If all it's gonna cause is pain |
G C |
Truth in my lies right now are |
Falling like the rain |
Am |
So let the river run |
Em |
He's coming home with his neck |
G C |
Scratched to catch flack |
Sweat jackets and dress slacks, |
D |
Mismatch, |
Em |
On his breast jackets is sex addict |
G C |
And she just wants to exact revenge |
Am Em |
And get back |
It's a chess match, |
G |
She's on his back like a jetpack |
C |
She's kept track of all |
His internet chats |
D Em |
And guess who just so happens |
To be moving on to the next? |
G C |
Actually, just shit on my last |
Am Em |
Chick and she has what my ex lacks |
Em |
'Cause she loves danger, |
G C |
Psychopath |
And you don't fuck with no |
D |
Man's girl, even I know that |
Em |
But she's devised some plan |
G |
To stab him in the back |
C |
Knife in hand, says the |
Am Em |
Relationship's hanging by a strand |
Em |
So she's been on the web lately |
G C |
Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, |
D |
To spite her man |
Em G |
And I know she's using me to try to |
C |
Play him, I don't care |
Hi Suzanne, but I shoulda' said |
"Bye Suzanne" after the first night |
But tonight I am |
Em |
I've been a liar, been a thief |
G C |
Been a lover, been a cheat |
D Em |
All my sins need holy water, |
G C |
Feel it washin' over me |

Falling like the rain |
So let the river run |
Em |
One night stand turned |
G |
Into night stayin' |
C |
It was cold, some lights gram, |
D |
Y'all be hung tight and |
Em |
He found out, |
G |
Now she feels deserted and used |
C |
'Cause he left, so what? |
Am Em |
He did it first to her too |
Now how am I supposed to tell |
G |
This girl that we're through? |
C |
It's hard to find the words, |
D |
I'm aloof, nervous and suited |
Em |
When it's too hurt |
But what you deserve is the truth |
G C |
Don't take it personal, I just |
Am Em |
Can't say this in person to you |
Em |
So I revert to the studio |
G C |
Like Hole In The Wall diners |
Don't have to be reserved |
D |
In a booth |
Em |
I just feel like the person |
G |
Who I'm turnin' into is |
C |
Irreversible, I prayed on you |
Am Em |
Like it's church at the pew |
Em |
And now that I got |
You I don't want you |
G |
Took advantage of |
C |
My thirst to pursue |
D |
Why do I do this dirt that I do? |
Em |
Get on my soapbox and preach, |
G |
My sermon in speech |
C |
Detergent and bleach is burned |
In the womb |
'Cause now with her in the womb |
We can't bring her in this world, |
Shoulda' knew |
To use protection 'fore I bit |
Into your forbidden fruit - Fuck! |
Em |
I've been a liar, been a thief |
G C |
Been a lover, been a cheat |
D Em |
All my sins need holy water, |
G C |
Feel it washin' over me |

Falling like the rain |
So let the river run |

My name's (ooh), my name's (ooh) |
C Am |
Denver (ooh), river run |
G C G |
Call me (ooh), call me (ooh) |
C Am |
River (ooh), |
We'll let the river run |
Em |
Always the bridesmaid, |
G |
Never “The bride, hey!” |
Fuck can I say, |
D Em |
If life was a highway |
The seat was an enclave, |
G C |
I'll be swerving in five lanes |
Am |
Speeds at a high rate, |
Em |
Like I'm sliding on ice, maybe |
That's why I may have |
D |
Came at you sideways |
I can't keep my lies straight, |
G C |
What I made you terminate, my baby |
D Em |
This love triangle left us in a |
Wreck, tangled |
G C |
What else can I say? |
It was fun for a while |
Bet I really woulda |
Loved your smile |
Didn't really wanna abort, |
But fuck it |
What's one more lie, |
To tell an unborn child |
Em |
I've been a liar, been a thief |
G C |
Been a lover, been a cheat |
D Em |
All my sins need holy water, |
G C |
Feel it washin' over me |
