CAPO ON  4TH FRET
KAPO: 4

   
            Am                  C      F  
I've been a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
    G    Am                  C       F  
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me
     G         Am                         C         F  
Well little one, I don't want to admit to something
                           G    Am                  C             F  
If all it's gonna cause is pain,   truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain
           G    
So let the river run


[Verse 1]
Am                                             C
   He's coming home with his neck scratched to catch flack
F                                  G   
   Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatch
Am                                       C
On his breast jacket is a sex addict and she just wants to
F                 D5       G   
Exact revenge and get back

         Am                                   C
It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jetpack
      F                                        G   
She's kept track of all his internet chats and guess who just
Am                                    C
Happens to be moving on to the next actually
     F                             D5           G   
Just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks

Am                         C
  'Cause she loves danger, psychopath
F                                              G   
   And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even I know that
Am                                         C
   But she's devised some plan to stab him in the back
F                           D5                 G   
Knife in hand, says the relationship's hanging by a strand

Am                                 C
   So she's been on the web lately
     F                                 G   
Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man
Am                              C
   And I know she's using me to try to play him
F  
I don't care, "hi Suzanne", but I shoulda' said "bye Suzanne"

After the first night, but tonight I am


[Chorus 1]
            Am                  C      F  
I've been a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
    G    Am                  C       F            D5
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me
               Am                         C         F  
Well little one, I don't want to admit to something
                           G    Am                 C        F  
If all it's gonna cause is pain,   truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
D5
   So let the river run


[Verse 2]
Am                                             C
One night stand turned into two night stayin', it was cold
    F                                        G   
And some might scram, y'all we hug tight and
         Am                                   C
He found out, now she feels deserted and used
            F                      D5               G   
'Cause he left, so what, he did it first to her too

    Am                                                      C
Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through?
     F                                              G   
It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous and suited
          Am
When it's too hurt but what you deserve is the truth
       C           F                             D5            G   
Don't take it personal, I just can't say this in person to you

Am                                     C           F  
   So I revert to the studio like Hole In The Wall diners
                                     G   
Don't have to be reserved in a booth
  Am                                               C
I just feel like the person who I'm turnin' into's
     F                                  D5                G   
Irreversible, I prayed on you like it's church at the pew

               Am
And now that I got you I don't want you
               C               F  
Took advantage of my thirst to pursue
                                 G   
Why do I do this dirt that I do?
           Am                                      C
Get off my soapbox and preach, my sermon in speech
          F  
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


[Chorus 2]
                    Am                  C      F  
I've been (fuck!) a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
    G    Am                  C       F            D5
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me
               Am                         C         F  
Well little one, I don't want to admit to something
                           G    Am                 C        F  
If all it's gonna cause is pain,   truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
D5
   So let the river run


[Bridge]
Am                 C                 F  
My name's (oh-oh), my name's (oh-oh) Denver (oh-oh), never run
     Am               C               F  
Just call me (oh-oh), call me (oh-oh) River (oh-oh)
N.C.
We'll let the river run


[Verse 3]
F  
   Always the bride's maid, never the bride, hey
G
   Fuck can I say, if life was a highway
F  
   The sequel’s an enclave, I’ll be swerving in five lanes

F                        G
   Speeds at a high rate like I'm sliding on ice maybe
F  
   That's why I'm made, that came at you sideways
G
   I can't keep my lies straight

         F  
What I made you terminate my baby
              G
This love triangle left us in a wreck tangled
                F  
What else can I say, 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 an unborn child?


[Chorus 3]
            Am                  C      F  
I've been a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
    G    Am                  C       F  
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me
     G         Am                                     C         F  
Well little one, (I’m sorry) I don't want to admit to something (I fucked up)
                           G    Am                     C        F  
If all it's gonna cause is pain,   the truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
           G   
So let the river run (river run, river run, river run)
