River Of Tears

[Primeira Parte]

Dm                             Bb
Still got the flowers that you sent
        F                          
And the note you wrote that said we
     C
 were meant, to be forever
Dm                    Bb
I keep them all as evidence
     F                             
In a drawer under the mirror, 
      C
filled with empty promises
Bb
I don't know why, I keep
Dm
Letting you lie to me
F
Hard as I try, it seems
C
I can't break away
               Dm
I thought that you would be the hero
          Bb
Come and save the day
                    F
But you're a villain
                    C
Your sins unforgiven

[Refrão]

             Dm                    
I'm going down, and you have 
          Bb
watched me drown
                  F              
In a river of tears, lost beneath 
         C
the stream
              Dm               
Under the waves, I've found the 
                Bb
strength to say
                 F5             
The river of tears has washed me 
     C
clean
Dm                         Bb
 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                        Bb
 So I won't need you here, Love 
sinks and hope floats
F5                   C
 In a river of tears, In a river of 
tears

[Segunda Parte]

Dm                          Bb
I catch your scent in every wind
        F5                     
And I recall the love we had, I 
          C
can't pretend
     Dm                            
That I don't miss you every now and
 Bb
 then
        F5
But the hurt is for the better
       C
Moving on, it's now or never
Dm                            Bb
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
                         Bb
Then it builds you coffins
                 F5
And far too often
                 C
We end up falling to our demise

[Refrão]

             Dm                    
I'm going down, and you have 
          Bb
watched me drown
                  F5             
In a river of tears, lost beneath 
          C
the stream
              Dm               
Under the waves, I've found the 
                Bb
strength to say
                 F5             
The river of tears has washed me 
     C
clean
Dm                         Bb
 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                        Bb
 So I won't need you here, Love 
sinks and hope floats
F5                   C
 In a river of tears, In a river of 
tears

[Ponte]

Bb                      C   
Cry me a river, build myself a 
              F5   C
bridge, I'm over this
F5
 Can't let memories become the death
 of me, I'm glad to see
Dm
 Everything that you are
F                          F
 And I believe that you are 
everything I needed
                        C
But I don't need no more

[Refrão]

             Dm                    
I'm going down, and you have 
         Bb
watched me drown
                  F5             
In a river of tears, lost beneath 
          C
the stream
              Dm               
Under the waves, I've found the 
                Bb
strength to say
                 F5             
The river of tears has washed me 
     C
clean
Dm                         Bb
 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                        Bb
 So I won't need you here, Love 
sinks and hope floats
F5                   C
 In a river of tears, In a river of 
tears
