Em
|
I've been a liar, been a thief
|
G C
|
Been a lover, been a cheat
|
D Em
|
All my sins need holy water,
|
G C
|
Feel it washin' over me
|
Am Em
|
A little one,
|
G C
|
I don't want to admit to something
|
D Em
|
If all it's gonna cause is pain
|
G C
|
Truth in my lies right now are
|
Falling like the rain
|
Am
|
So let the river run
|
Em
|
He's coming home with his neck
|
G C
|
Scratched to catch flack
|
Sweat jackets and dress slacks,
|
D
|
Mismatch,
|
Em
|
On his breast jackets is sex addict
|
G C
|
And she just wants to exact revenge
|
Am Em
|
And get back
|
It's a chess match,
|
G
|
She's on his back like a jetpack
|
C
|
She's kept track of all
|
His internet chats
|
D Em
|
And guess who just so happens
|
To be moving on to the next?
|
G C
|
Actually, just shit on my last
|
Am Em
|
Chick and she has what my ex lacks
|
Em
|
'Cause she loves danger,
|
G C
|
Psychopath
|
And you don't fuck with no
|
D
|
Man's girl, even I know that
|
Em
|
But she's devised some plan
|
G
|
To stab him in the back
|
C
|
Knife in hand, says the
|
Am Em
|
Relationship's hanging by a strand
|
Em
|
So she's been on the web lately
|
G C
|
Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy,
|
D
|
To spite her man
|
Em G
|
And I know she's using me to try to
|
C
|
Play him, I don't care
|
Hi Suzanne, but I shoulda' said
|
"Bye Suzanne" after the first night
|
But tonight I am
|
Em
|
I've been a liar, been a thief
|
G C
|
Been a lover, been a cheat
|
D Em
|
All my sins need holy water,
|
G C
|
Feel it washin' over me
|
Am Em
|
A little one,
|
G C
|
I don't want to admit to something
|

|
If all it's gonna cause is pain
|
G C
|
Truth in my lies right now are
|
Am
|
Falling like the rain
|
So let the river run
|
Em
|
One night stand turned
|
G
|
Into night stayin'
|
C
|
It was cold, some lights gram,
|
D
|
Y'all be hung tight and
|
Em
|
He found out,
|
G
|
Now she feels deserted and used
|
C
|
'Cause he left, so what?
|
Am Em
|
He did it first to her too
|
Now how am I supposed to tell
|
G
|
This girl that we're through?
|
C
|
It's hard to find the words,
|
D
|
I'm aloof, nervous and suited
|
Em
|
When it's too hurt
|
But what you deserve is the truth
|
G C
|
Don't take it personal, I just
|
Am Em
|
Can't say this in person to you
|
Em
|
So I revert to the studio
|
G C
|
Like Hole In The Wall diners
|
Don't have to be reserved
|
D
|
In a booth
|
Em
|
I just feel like the person
|
G
|
Who I'm turnin' into is
|
C
|
Irreversible, I prayed on you
|
Am Em
|
Like it's church at the pew
|
Em
|
And now that I got
|
You I don't want you
|
G
|
Took advantage of
|
C
|
My thirst to pursue
|
D
|
Why do I do this dirt that I do?
|
Em
|
Get on my soapbox and preach,
|
G
|
My sermon in speech
|
C
|
Detergent and bleach is burned
|
In the womb
|
'Cause now with her in the womb
|
We can't bring her in this world,
|
Shoulda' knew
|
To use protection 'fore I bit
|
Into your forbidden fruit - Fuck!
|
Em
|
I've been a liar, been a thief
|
G C
|
Been a lover, been a cheat
|
D Em
|
All my sins need holy water,
|
G C
|
Feel it washin' over me
|
Am Em
|
A little one,
|
G C

I don't want to admit to something
|
D Em
|
If all it's gonna cause is pain
|
G C
|
Truth in my lies right now are
|
Am
|
Falling like the rain
|
So let the river run
|
G C G
|
My name's (ooh), my name's (ooh)
|
C Am
|
Denver (ooh), river run
|
G C G
|
Call me (ooh), call me (ooh)
|
C Am
|
River (ooh),
|
We'll let the river run
|
Em
|
Always the bridesmaid,
|
G
|
Never “The bride, hey!”
|
Fuck can I say,
|
D Em
|
If life was a highway
|
The seat was an enclave,
|
G C
|
I'll be swerving in five lanes
|
Am
|
Speeds at a high rate,
|
Em
|
Like I'm sliding on ice, maybe
|
That's why I may have
|
D
|
Came at you sideways
|
I can't keep my lies straight,
|
G C
|
What I made you terminate, my baby
|
D Em
|
This love triangle left us in a
|
Wreck, tangled
|
G C
|
What else can I say?
|
It was fun for a while
|
Bet I really woulda
|
Loved your smile
|
Didn't really wanna abort,
|
But fuck it
|
What's one more lie,
|
To tell an unborn child
|
Em
|
I've been a liar, been a thief
|
G C
|
Been a lover, been a cheat
|
D Em
|
All my sins need holy water,
|
G C
|
Feel it washin' over me

|
So let the river run
