B C# Everybody tells me it's 'bout time that I moved on D#m C# And I need to learn to lighten up and learn how to be young B C# But my heart is a valley, it's so shallow and man-made D#m C# I'm scared to death if I let you in, you'll see I'm just a fake Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch But I know that's just me 'cause nothing ever is enough When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea There was something in the water, now that something's in me B C# Oh, I can't go back D#m C# But the reeds are growing out of my fingertips B C# I can't go back G# To the river Chorus: D#m C# But it's in my roots, in my veins D#m In my blood and I'll stain D#m C# G# every heart that I use to heal the pain D#m C# But it's in my roots, in my veins D#m In my blood and I'll slay D#m C# G# every heart that I use to heal the pain G# D#m So I blame it on River lea C# The River Lea, The River Lea D#m Yeah, I blame it on River lea C# G# The River Lea, The River Lea B I should probably tell you now C# before is way too late D#m that I never meant to hurt you C# or to lie straight to your face B Consider this my apology C# I know it's years in advance D#m But I rather say it now in case C# I never get the chance No, I can't go back But the reeds are growing out of my fingertips I can't go back To the river Chorus So I blame it on River lea C# The River Lea, The River Lea Yeah, I blame it on River lea The River Lea, The River Lea You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#  D#m  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
