I've been a ^Emliar, been a thief, ^Gbeen a ^Clover, been a cheat All ^Dmy si^Emns need holy water, ^Gfeel it ^Cwashin' over me Well ^Dlittle one^Em, I don't want to admit to ^Gsomething ^C If all it's gonna cause is ^Dpain,^Em truth in my lies ^Gright now are ^Cfalling like the rain So let the ^Driver run

[Verse 1]

^Em He's comin' home with his neck scratched to ^Gcatch flack ^C Sweat jackets and dress slacks, ^Dmismatched ^EmOn his breath's Jack, he's a sex addict and ^Gshe just wants to ^CExact revenge and ^A5get back ^D

It's a ch^Emess match, she's on his back like a j^Get-pack She's ^Ckept track of all his Internet chats and ^Dguess who just ^EmHappens to be movin' on to the next ac^Gtually Just ^Cshit on my last chick and she ^A5has what my e^Dx lacks

^Em 'Cause she loves danger, ^Gpsychopath ^C And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even ^DI know that ^Em But she's devised some plan to stab him ^Gin the back ^CKnife in hand, says the rela^A5tionship's hangin' ^Dby a strand

^Em So she's been on the web lately ^G Says ^Cmaybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to ^Dspite her man ^Em And I know she's using me to ^Gtry to play him ^CI don't care, "hi Suzanne", but I shoulda said "bye Suzanne"

After the first night, but tonight I am [Chorus 1]

I've been a ^Emliar, been a thief, ^Gbeen a ^Clover, been a cheat All ^Dmy si^Emns need holy water, ^Gfeel it ^Cwashin' over ^A5me Well little one^Em, I don't want to admit to ^Gsomething ^C If all it's gonna cause is ^Dpain,^Em truth in my lies^G now are ^Cfalling like the rain ^A5 So let the river run

[Verse 2]

^EmOne-night stand turned to a two-night stand, ^Git was "Come ^Csunlight, scram," now we hug tight and ^D He found ^Emout, now she feels deserted and used ^G 'Cause he le^Cft, so what, he did it ^A5first to her too ^D

Now ^Emhow am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through? ^G It's ^Chard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous and ^DSue Don't want this ^Emto hurt but what you deserve is the truth Don't t^Gake it perso^Cnal, I just can't say this in ^A5person to you ^D

^Em So I revert to the studio like hole-^Gin-the-wall ^Cdiners Don't have to be reserved in a booth ^D I ^Emjust feel like the person who I'm turnin' into's ^G Irrev^Cersible, I preyed on you like it's ^A5church at the pew ^D

And now that I ^Emgot you I don't want you Took advantage ^Gin my thirst to ^Cpursue Why do I do this dirt that I do? ^D Get on my ^Emsoapbox and preach, my sermon and speech ^G Detergent ^Cand bleach is burnin' the wound

'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 [Chorus 2]

I've been (fuck!) a ^Emliar, been a thief, ^Gbeen a ^Clover, been a cheat All ^Dmy si^Emns need holy water, ^Gfeel it ^Cwashin' over ^A5me Well little one^Em, I don't want to admit to ^Gsomething ^C If all it's gonna cause is ^Dpain,^Em truth in my lies^G now are ^Cfalling like the rain ^A5 So let the river run

[Bridge]

^EmMy name's (oh-oh), ^Gmy name's (oh-oh) ^CDenver (oh-oh), river run Just ^Emcall me (oh-oh), ^Gcall me (oh-oh) ^CRiver (oh-oh) ^N.C.We'll let the river run

[Verse 3]

^C Always the bridesmaid, never "the bride, hey" ^D5 Fuck can I say, if life was a highway ^C And deceit was an enclave, I'd be swerving in five lanes ^Em Speeds at a high rate ^D5like I'm slidin' on ice maybe ^C That's why I'm may have came at you sideways ^D5 I can't keep my lies straight

But I ma^Emde you terminate my baby This love tria^Emngle left us in a wreck, tangled What else can I ^Csay, 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 our unborn child? [Chorus 3]

I've been a ^Emliar, been a thief, ^Gbeen a ^Clover, been a cheat All ^Dmy si^Emns need holy water, ^Gfeel it ^Cwashin' over me Well ^Dlittle one^Em, (I’m sorry) I don't want to admit to ^Gsomething ^C(I fucked up) If all it's gonna cause is ^Dpain,^Em the truth in my lies^G now are ^Cfalling like the rain So let the ^Driver run (river run, river run, river run)
