[INTRO]
D#m B F# C#
[VERSE 1]
D#m B
Still got the flowers that you sent
F# C#
And the note you wrote that said we're meant to be forever
D#m B
I keep them all as evidence
F# C#
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
[PRE-CHORUS 1]
G#m
I don't know why
D#m
I keep letting you lie to me
F#
Hard as I try
C#
It seems I can't break away
D#m
I thought that you would be the hero
B
Come and save the day
F#
But you're a villain
C#
Your sins unforgiven
[CHORUS]
D#m B
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
F# C#
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
D#m B
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
F# C#
The river of tears has washed me clean
[POST-CHORUS]
G#m
Go ahead and wish me well
D#m
I'll cry a wishing well
F#
I'll fly before I fail
C# D#m
I'll set sail and drift away
B
So I won't need you here
F#
Love sinks and hope floats
C#
In a river of tears
D#m
In a river of tears
[VERSE 2]
D#m B
I catch your scent in every wind
F#
And I recall the love we had
C#
I can't pretend that I
D#m B
Don't miss you every now and then
F#
But the hurt is for the better
C#
Moving on, it's now or never
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
G#m D#m
Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry
F#
Like there's a sea in my eyes
C# D#m
I realise that sometimes love brings you flowers
B
Then it builds you coffins
F#
And far too often
C#
We end up falling to our demise
[CHORUS]
D#m B
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
F# C#
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
D#m B
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
F# C#
The river of tears has washed me clean
[POST-CHORUS]
G#m
Go ahead and wish me well
D#m
I'll cry a wishing well
F#
I'll fly before I fail
C# D#m
I'll set sail and drift away
B
So I won't need you here
F#
Love sinks and hope floats
C#
In a river of tears
D#m
In a river of tears
[BRIDGE]
D#m C# F#
Cry me a river, build myself a bridge
G#m B
I'm over this, can't let memories become the death of me
D#m C# F#
I'm glad to see everything that you are
G#m B
And I believe that you are everything I needed
D#m
But I don't need no more
[CHORUS]
D#m B
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
F# C#
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
D#m B
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
F# C#
The river of tears has washed me clean
[POST-CHORUS]
G#m
Go ahead and wish me well
D#m
I'll cry a wishing well
F#
I'll fly before I fail
C# D#m
I'll set sail and drift away
B
So I won't need you here
F#
Love sinks and hope floats
C#
In a river of tears
D#m
In a river of tears
