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.
Gbm 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,
Gbm D E
And I'm just a child who belongs on her knees.
D Db
But I found a boy who I love more,
Gbm
Than I ever did you before,
D Db
So stand beside the river I cried,
Gbm 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
Gbm D
At the first sight of you, crawling back to me
E Gbm
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.
D Db
But I found a boy who I love more,
Gbm
Than I ever did you before,
D Db
So stand beside the river I cried,
Gbm 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
D Db
But I found a boy who loves me more,
Gbm
Than you ever did before,
D Db
So stand beside the river you'll cry,
Gbm D Bm
And let yourself down.
A E A
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
