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.

                     F#m                       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,

               F#m                      D        E

And I'm just a child who belongs on her knees.



Chorus:

    D                 C#

But I found a boy who I love more,

     F#m

Than I ever did you before,

    D                 C#

So stand beside the river I cried,

    F#m           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

               F#m                          D

At the first sight of you, crawling back to me

    E                 F#m

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.



Chorus:

    D                 C#

But I found a boy who I love more,

     F#m

Than I ever did you before,

    D                     C#

So stand beside the river I cried,

    F#m            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



Chorus:

    D                   C#

But I found a boy who loves me more,

     F#m

Than you ever did before,

      D                       C#

So stand beside the river you'll cry,

    F#m           D        Bm

And let yourself down.

              A               E             A

Look how you want me now that I don't need you.



Dm6
