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,

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.
