I thought I [A] told you, he'd be [E] home soon
Couldn't help [A] myself, you're too good to [E] be true.
I fall short each [A] time, every time he ain't [E] here,
You and your charm creep [A] closer, closer in [E] here.
Like a fool for fire [F#m] I fall, with my pride and [D] all.
Like a bomb before [B7] explosion,
Ticking by your [E] call.
You're the [A] wiser one, disguised from [E] greed,
And I'm just a [F#m] child who belongs on her [D] knees. [E]
But [D] I found a boy who [C#] I love more,
Than [F#m] I ever did you before,
So [D] stand beside the [C#] river I cried,
And [F#m] let yourself [D] down. [Bm]
Look how you want me now that I don't need [A] you. [E]
So, you [A] thought that I would crumble to my [E] knees
At the first [F#m] sight of you, crawling back to [D] me
To [E] whisper 'will you [F#m] leave your man?'
Cause you sweared that [D] this time you can [E] stand by me. [A]
I won't stand by [E] you.
But [D] I found a boy who [C#] I love more,
Than [F#m] I ever did you before,
So [D] stand beside the river [C#] I cried,
And [F#m] let yourself [D] down. [Bm]
Look how you want me now that I don't need [F] you.
I ain't yours for no [Dm6] taking,
You must be [E] mistaken
I could never look in your eyes, and [A] settle for wrong
And ignore the right
But [D] I found a boy who [C#] loves me more,
Than [F#m] you ever did before,
So [D] stand beside the river [C#] you’ll cry,
And [F#m] let yourself [D] down. [Bm]
Look how you [A] want me now that [E] I don't need [A] you.
