D#m7                            B
Still got the flowers that you sent
        F#                              C#
And the note you wrote that said we're meant to be forever
D#m7                   B
I keep them all as evidence
       F#                                 C#
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
B
I don't know why
       D#m7
I keep letting you lie to me
F#
Hard as I try
           C#
It seems I can't break away
               D#m7
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#m7                            B
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
              F#                        C#
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
          D#m7                               B
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
              F#                   C#
The river of tears has washed me clean
B
Go 'head and wish me well
D#m
I'll cry a wishing well
F#
I'll fly before I fail
C#                       D#m7
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
In a river of tears

I catch your scent in every wind
And I recall the love we had, I can't pretend
That I don't miss you every now and then
But the hurt is for the better, movin' on, it's now or never

(Ho-ahh) Lost in the tide,
(Ahh) I can't keep my pillows dry
(Ahh) Like there's a sea in my eyes,
(Ahh) I realize that sometimes
Love brings you flowers, then it builds you coffins
And far too often, we end up falling to our demise

Chorus

D#m7      C#            F#
Cry me a river, build myself a bridge
          G#m7            B
I'm over this, can't let memories become the death of me
            D#m7       C#            F#
I'm glad to see everything that you are
          G#m7             B
And I believe that you are everything I needed

But I don't need no more

Chorus
