River Of Tears Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bm][G][D][A]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Still got the flowers that you sent[G]
And the [D]note you wrote
that said that we were [A]meant to be forever
[Bm]I keep them all as evidenc[G]e
In a [D]drawer under the mirror,
filled with [A]empty promises

[Pre-chorus 1]
[G]I don't know why I keep l[Bm]etting you lie to me
[D]Hard as I try, it seems I [A]can't breakaway
I thought that [Bm]you would be the hero,
come and [G]save the day
But you're a vil[D]lain,
your sins aren't forgiv[A]en

[Chorus 1]
I'm goin' [Bm]down,
and you have watched me drown
[G]In the river of tea[D]rs,
lost beneath the [A]stream
Un[F#]der the [Bm]waves,
I've found the strength to [G]say
The river of [D]tears has washed me [A]clean
[F#m](Ho ah[G]h) Go ahead and wish me well
[Bm](Ahh) I'll cry a wishin' well
[D](Ahh) I'll fly before I fail
[A](Haa) I'll set sail and [F#]drift a[Bm]way
So, I won't need you here
[G]Love sinks and hope floats
[D]In the river of tea[A]rs

[Verse 2]
In the river of tears
[Bm]I catch your scent in every wind[G]
And I re[D]call the love we had, I can't pre[A]tend
That [Bm]I don't miss you every now and th[G]en
But the [D]hurt is for the better,
movin' [A]on, it's now or never

[Pre-chorus 2]
[G]Lost in the tide, I can't keep [Bm]my pillows dry
Like there's a [D]sea in my eyes,
I real[A]ize that sometimes
Love brings you [Bm]flowers,
then it builds you coffins
[G]And far too often,
[D]we end up falling to [A]our demise

[Chorus 2]
I'm goin' [Bm]down,
and you have watched me drown
[G]In the river of tea[D]rs,
lost beneath the [A]stream
Un[F#]der the [Bm]waves,
I've found the strength to [G]say
The river of [D]tears has washed me [A]clean
[F#m](Ho ah[G]h) Go ahead and wish me well
[Bm](Ahh) I'll cry a wishin' well
[D](Ahh) I'll fly before I fail
[A](Haa) I'll set sail and [F#]drift [Bm]away
So, I won't need you here
[G]Love sinks and hope floats
[D]In the river of tea[A]rs
In the [F#]river of tears

[Bridge 1]
[Bm]Cry me a river[A], build myself[D] a bridge,
I'm [Em]over [F#m]this
[G]Can't let memories
become the death of me, I'm glad to [Bm]see
Every[A]thing that you [D]are
and I be[Em]lieve that [F#m]you are
[G]Everything I needed
but I don't need no more

[Chorus 3]
I'm goin' [Bm]down,
and you have watched me drown
[G]In the river of tea[D]rs,
lost beneath the [A]stream
Under the [Bm]waves,
I've found the strength to [G]say
The river of [D]tears has washed me [A]clean
[F#m](Ho ah[G]h) Go ahead and wish me well
[Bm](Ahh) I'll cry a wishin' well
[D](Ahh) I'll fly before I fail
[A](Haa) I'll set sail and [F#]drift [Bm]away
So, I won't need you here
[G]Love sinks and hope floats
[D]In the river of tea[A]rs
In the river of tears
