[Chorus]
I've been a lEmiar, been a thief GBeen a C/Glover, been a cheat All D/Amy siEmns need holy water GFeel it C/Gwashin' over me Oh, D/Alittle one,Em I don't wanna admit to Gsomethin' C/G If all it's gonna cause is D/Apain Em Truth in my lies Gright now are C/Gfallin' like the rain So let the D/Ariver run
[Verse 1]
EmHe's comin' home with his neck scratched, to Gcatch flack C/GSweat jackets and dress slacks, D/Amismatch EmOn his breath's Jack is a sex addict And Gshe just wants to C/Gexact revenge A5and get back D/F# It's a Emchess match, she's on his back like a Gjetpack She's C/Gkept track of all his Internet chats And D/Aguess who just Emhappens to be movin' on to the next? AcGtually, just C/Gshit on my last chick and she A5has what my eD/F#x lacks Em'Cause she loves danger, Gpsychopath C/G And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even D/AI know that Em
But she's devised some plan
To stab him Gin the back, C/Gknife in hand Says the relaA5tionship's hangin' D/F#by a strand Em So she's been on the web lately G Says C/Gmaybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to D/Aspite her man Em And I know she's usin' me to Gtry to play him C/GI don't care, hi Susanne, but I shoulda said bye Susanne
After the first night, but tonight I am [Chorus]

So let the river run [Verse 2]
EmOne-night stand, turned into night stayin' GHe was callin' C/Gso might scram, now we hug tight and D/A He found Emout, now she feels deserted and used G 'Cause he leC/Gft, so what? He did it A5first to her too D/F# Now Emhow am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through? G It's C/Ghard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous, D/Aensued And witnessEmed you hurt, but what you deserve is the truth Don't tGake it persoC/Gnal, I just can't say this in A5person to you D/F# EmSo I revert to the studio like hole-Gin-the-wall C/Gdiners Don't have to be reserved in a booth D/A I Emjust feel like the person who I'm turnin' into's G IrreC/Gversible, I preyed on you like it's A5church at the pew D/F# And now that I Emgot you I don't want you Took advantage Gof my thirst tC/Go pursue Why do I do this dirt that I do? D/A Get on my Emsoapbox and preach, my sermon and speech G Detergent C/Gand bleach is burnin' the wound

N.C.

'Cause now with her in the womb

N.C.

We can't bring her in this world, shoulda knew

N.C.

To use protection 'fore I bit into your forbidden fruit Fuck!
[Chorus]
I've been a Emliar, been a thief GBeen a C/Glover, been a cheat All D/Amy siEmns need holy water GFeel it C/Gwashin' over A5me Oh, little oneEm, I don't wanna admit to Gsomethin' C/G If all it's gonna cause is D/Apain Em Truth in my liesG now are C/Gfallin' like the rain A5
So let the river run [Bridge]
EmMy name's (ooh), Gmy name's (ooh) C/GDenver (ooh), river run EmCall me (ooh), Gcall me (ooh) C/GRiver (ooh), we'll let the river run
[Verse 3]
C/GAlways the bridesmaid, never “The bride, hey! D Fuck can I say? If life was a highway C/G The seat was an enclave, I'd be swervin' in five lanes C/G Speeds at a high rate, Dlike I'm sliding on ice, maybe C/G That's why I may have came at you sideways D
I can't keep my lies straight
What I maC/Gde you terminate, my baby This love triaDngle, left us in a wreck, tangled What else can I C/Gsay? It was fun for a while

N.C.

Bet I really woulda loved your smile

N.C.

Didn't really wanna abort, but fuck it

N.C.

What's one more lie, to tell an unborn child?
[Chorus]
I've been a Emliar, been a thief GBeen a C/Glover, been a cheat All D/Amy siEmns need holy water GFeel it C/Gwashin' over A5me Well, little oEmne, I don't wanna admit tGo somethinC/G' If all it's gonna cause is D/Apain Em Truth in my liesG now are C/Gfallin' like the rain So let the D/Ariver run
