Em I've been a liar, been a thief G C Been a lover, been a cheat D Em G C All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me D Em G C A little one, I don't want to admit to something D Em If all it's gonna cause is pain G C Truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain D So let the river run
verse 1 Em G He's coming home with his neck scratched to catch flack C D Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatch Em On his breast jackets is sex addict G C Am D And she just wants to exact revenge and get back Em G It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jetpack C She's kept track of all his internet chats D Em And guess who just so happens to be moving on to the next? G C Am D Actually, just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks Em G 'Cause she loves danger, psychopath C D And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even I know that Em G C But she's devised some plan to stab him in the back Am D Knife in hand, says the relationship's hanging by a strand Em So she's been on the web lately G C D Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man Em G C And I know she's using me to try to play him, I don't care Hi Suzanne, but I shoulda' said 'Bye Suzanne' after the first night, but tonight I am
Em I've been a liar, been a thief G C Been a lover, been a cheat D Em G C Am All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me Em G C A little one, I don't want to admit to something D Em If all it's gonna cause is pain G C Am Truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain So let the river run
verse 2 Em G One night stand turned into night stayin' C D It was cold, some lights gram, y'all be hung tight and Em G He found out, now she feels deserted and used C Am D 'Cause he left, so what? He did it first to her too Em G Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through? C D It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous and suited Em When it's too hurt but what you deserve is the truth G C Am D Don't take it personal, I just can't say this in person to you Em G C So I revert to the studio like Hole In The Wall diners D Don't have to be reserved in a booth Em G I just feel like the person who I'm turnin' into is C Am D Irreversible, I prayed on you like it's church at the pew Em And now that I got you I don't want you G C Took advantage of my thirst to pursue D Why do I do this dirt that I do? Em G Get on my soapbox and preach, my sermon in speech C Detergent and bleach is burned in the womb '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 Fuck!
Em I've been a liar, been a thief G C Been a lover, been a cheat D Em G C Am All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me Em G C A little one, I don't want to admit to something D Em If all it's gonna cause is pain G C Am Truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain So let the river run
Em G C Ooh Ohh Ohh Em G C Ooh Ohh Ohh C D Always the bridesmaid, never the bride hey C What can I say, if life was a highway Em This sequel's an enclave, I'll be swerving in 5 lanes D C Speeds at a high rate, like I'm sliding on ice made Em Thats what I made, came at you sideways, D C I can't keep my lies straight, What I made you terminate my baby Em D This love triangle angle left us in a wrecked tangle C What else can I say, it was fun for a while Bet I really would've loved your smile Didnt really wanna... but fuck it, whats one more lie to tell an unborn child
Em I've been a liar, been a thief G C Been a lover, been a cheat D Em G C Am All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me Em G C A little one, I don't want to admit to something D Em If all it's gonna cause is pain G C Truth in my lies now are falling like the rain D So let the river run
