             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.

So you thought that I'd crumble to my knees
At the first sight of you crawling back to me
To whisper, "Will you leave your man?"
'Cause you swear that this time you can stand by me
I won't stand by you

Chorus

                                            F
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
                      Bm7-5
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:
When I found a boy who loves me more
Than you ever did before
So stand beside the river you cried
And lay yourself down
Look how you want me now, but I don't need you
