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.
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.
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.
