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.
