Tonality
AE
I thought I told you, heʼd be home soon
AE
Couldnʼt help myself, youʼre too good to be true.
AE
I fall short each time, every time he ainʼt here,
AE
You and your charm creep closer, closer in here.
F#mD
Like a fool for fire I fall, with my pride and all.
B7
Like a bomb before explosion,
E
Ticking by your call.
AE
Youʼre the wiser one, disguised from greed,
F#mDE
And Iʼm just a child who belongs on her knees.
Chorus:
DC#
But I found a boy who I love more,
F#m
Than I ever did you before,
DC#
So stand beside the river I cried,
F#mDBm
And let yourself down.
AE
Look how you want me now that I donʼt need you.
AE
So, you thought that I would crumble to my knees
F#mD
At the first sight of you, crawling back to me
EF#m
To whisper ʼwill you leave your man?ʼ
DEA
Cause you sweared that this time you can stand by me.
E
I wonʼt stand by you.
Chorus:
DC#
But I found a boy who I love more,
F#m
Than I ever did you before,
DC#
So stand beside the river I cried,
F#mDBm
And let yourself down.
F
Look how you want me now that I donʼt need you.
Dm
I ainʼt yours for no taking,
E
You must be mistaken
A
I could never look in your eyes, and settle for wrong
And ignore the right
Chorus:
DC#
But I found a boy who loves me more,
F#m
Than you ever did before,
DC#
So stand beside the river you’ll cry,
F#mDBm
And let yourself down.
AEA
Look how you want me now that I donʼt need you.
