Everybody tells me itʼs about time that I moved on
D#
And I need to learn to lighten up and how to be young!
Fm
But my heart is a valley...
C#
Itʼs so shallow and man made
G#
Iʼm scared to death if I let you in that
youʼll see Iʼm just a fade
D#
Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch
FmC#
But I know thatʼs just me cause nothing ever is enough
G#
When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea
D#
There was something in the water, now that somethingʼs in me
Fm
Ohhhhh I canʼt Go back, but the reeves
are growing out of my fingertips
C#
I canʼt Go back to the river
G#
But itʼs in my roots, itʼs in my veins
D#
Itʼs in my blood
Fm
And I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain
C#
Itʼs in my roots
G#
Itʼs in my veins
D#Fm
Itʼs in my blood and I stain every heart that
C#
I use to heal the pain
G#
So I blame it on the River Lea
D#
The River Lea, the River Lea
Fm
Yeah I blame it on the River Lea
C#
The River Lea, the River Lea
G#
So I blame it on the River Lea
D#
The River Lea, the River Lea
Fm
Yeah I blame it on the River Lea
C#
The River Lea, the River Lea
G#
I should probably tell you now before itʼs way too late
D#
That I never meant to hurt you or lie straight to your face
Fm
Consider this my apology
C#
I know itʼs years in advance
G#
But Iʼd rather say it now in case I never get the chance
D#
No I canʼt Go back, but the reeves
Fm
are growing out of my fingertips
C#
I canʼt Go back to the river!
G#
But itʼs in my roots, itʼs in my veins
D#
Itʼs in my blood and I stain every
heart that I use to heal the pain
Fm
Itʼs in my roots, itʼs in my veins
C#
Itʼs in my blood and I stain every
heart that I use to heal the pain
G#
So I blame it on the River Lea
D#
The River Lea, the River Lea
Fm
Yeah I blame it on the River Lea
C#
The River Lea, the River Lea
