River Lea Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][A][Bm][E]

[Verse 1]
[G]Everybody tells me
it's 'bout [A]time that I moved on
That I [Bm]need to learn to lighten up
and [A]learn how to be young
But [G]my heart is a valley,
it's so [A]shallow and manmade
I'm [Bm]scared to death if I let you in
that you'll [A]see I'm just a fake
[G]Sometimes I feel lonely
in the [A]arms of your touch
But [Bm]I know that's just me
'cause nothing [A]ev er is enough
[G]When I was a child I grew up
[A]by the River Lea
There was [Bm]something in the water,
now that [A]something's in me

[Pre-chorus 1]
Oh, I can't [G]go [A]back,
but the [Bm]reeds are growing
out of my [A]fingertips
I can't [G]go [A]back to the [E]river

[Chorus 1]
But, it's in my [Bm]roots,
in my [A]veins In my blood and I [Bm]stain
every heart that I [A]use to heal the [E]pain
Oh, it's in my [Bm]roots, in my [A]veins
In my blood and I [Bm]stain
every heart that I [A]use to heal the [E]pain
So, I blame it on the [Bm]River Lea,
the [A]River Lea, the River Lea
[Bm]Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea,
the [A]River Lea, the [E]River Lea

[Verse 2]
[G]I should probably tell you now
be[A]fore it's way too late
That I [Bm]never meant to hurt you
or [A]lie straight to your face
Con[G]sider this my apology,
I know it's [A]years in advance
But, I would [Bm]rather say it now
in case I [A]never get the chance

[Pre-chorus 2]
Oh, I can't [G]go [A]back,
but the [Bm]reeds are growing
out of my [A]fingertips
I can't [G]go [A]back to the [E]river

[Chorus 2]
But, it's in my [Bm]roots,
in my [A]veins In my blood and I [Bm]stain
every heart that I [A]use to heal the [E]pain
Oh, it's in my [Bm]roots, in my [A]veins
In my blood and I [Bm]stain
every heart that I [A]use to heal the [E]pain
So, I blame it on the [Bm]River Lea,
the [A]River Lea, the River Lea
[Bm]Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea,
the [A]River Lea, the [E]River Lea,
So, I blame it on the [Bm]River Lea,
the [A]River Lea, the River Lea
[Bm]Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea,
the [A]River Lea, the [E]River Lea,

[Outro 1]
