Rhythm tips ↓↑-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

[Am]Still got the flowers that you [F]sent, and the [C]note you wrote that said we’re [G]meant to be forever [Am]I keep them all as evi[F]dence, in a [C]drawer under the mirror, filled with [G]empty promises [Dm]I don’t know why, I keep [Am]letting you lie to me, [C]hard as I try It seems I [G]can’t break away, I thought that [Am]you would be the hero Come and [F]save the day, but you’re a [C]villain, your sins unfor[G]given

I’m going [Am]down, and you have watched me [F]drown, in a river of [C]tears, lost beneath the [G]stream Under the [Am]waves, I’ve found the strength to [F]say, the river of [C]tears has washed me [G]clean [Dm]Go ahead and wish me well, [Am]I’ll cry a wishing well, [Am]I’ll fly before I fail [G]I’ll set sail and drift [Am]away, so I won’t need you [F]here, love sinks and hope [C]floats In a river of [G]tears, in a river of tears

[Am]I catch your scent in every [F]wind, and I re[C]call the love we had, I can’t [G]pretend that I [Am] Don’t miss you every now and [F]then, but the [C]hurt is for the better, moving [G]on, it’s now or never [Dm]Lost in the tide, I can’t keep [Am]my pillows dry, like there’s a [C]sea in my eyes I [G]realize that sometimes love brings you [Am]flowers, then it builds you [F]coffins And far too [C]often, we end up falling [G]to our demise

[Am]Cry me a [G]river, build [C]myself a bridge I’m over [Dm]this, can’t let [F]memories become the death of me, I’m glad to [Am]see every[G]thing that you [C]are And I [Dm]believe that you are [F]everything I needed, but I don’t need no more
