Tonality
AE7
I thought I told you, heʼd be home soon
AE7
Couldnʼt help myself, youʼre too good to be true.
AE7
I fall short each time, every time he ainʼt here,
AE7
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,
E7
Ticking by your call.
AE7
Youʼre the wiser one, disguised from greed,
F#mDE7
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.
AE7
Look how you want me now that I donʼt need you.
AE7
So, you thought that I would crumble to my knees
F#mD
At the first sight of you, crawling back to me
E7F#m
To whisper ʼwill you leave your man?ʼ
DE7A
Cause you sweared that this time you can stand by me.
E7
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,
E7
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.
AE7A
Look how you want me now that I donʼt need you.
