Lyrics

I thought I (A)told you

he’d be home

soon,

could n’t (Esus4)help my self,

you’re too good to be (E)true.

I fall short each (A)time,

ev ’ry time he ain’t (E)here,

you and your (Esus4)charm creep (A)clos er, clos

er and (E)near.

Like a fool (CN.C.)for fi re I fall,

with my pride

and all,

like a bomb be fore (B7)ex plo sion,

tick ing by your (D)call.

(E)You’re (CN.C.)the (A)wis er one,

dis guised

from greed,

and I’m (C#)just a (F#m7)child who

be longs on her knees.

But I found a boy who (C#)I love (C#7)more than (F#m)I ev er did you be fore, so (D)stand be side the (C#7)riv er I cried and (F#m)let your self (F#m)down.

Look how you (CN.C.)want me now that I

don’t need (A)you.

So, you (A)thought that I’d

crum ble to (E)my knees

at the (C#)first sight of you (F#m7)crawl ing back to (D)me

to (E)whis per,

“Will you (F#m)leave your man?”

’Cause you swear that (D)this time you can

stand by (A)me.

I won’t stand by (E)you.

’Cause I found a boy who (C#)I love (C#7)more than (F#m)I ev er did you be fore, so (D)stand be side the (C#7)riv er I cried and (F#m)let your self (F#m)down.

Look how you (CN.C.)want me now that I

don’t need (F)you.

I ain’t yours for no (Bm7)tak ing,

you must be mis (Dm)tak en,

I could nev er look in to your eyes and (A7)set tle for wrong

and ig (A7)nore the right.

Well I found a boy who (C#)loves me (C#7)more than (F#m)you ev er did me be fore, so (D)stand be side the (C#7)riv er you’ll cry and (F#m)let your (F#m7)self (F#m)down.

Look how you (A)want me now that I

don’t need (A)you.
