G
Everybody tells me itʼs about time that I moved on
D
And I need to learn to lighten up and how to be young!
Em
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
EmC
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
Em
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
Em
And I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain
C
Itʼs in my roots
G
Itʼs in my veins
DEm
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
Em
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
Em
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
Em
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
Em
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
Em
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
Em
Yeah I blame it on the River Lea
C
The River Lea, the River Lea
