A E

I thought I told you, he'd be home soon

Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true.

I fall short each time, every time he ain't here,

You and your charm creep closer, closer in here.

Like a fool for fire I fall, with my pride and all.

Like a bomb before explosion,

Ticking by your call.

You're the wiser one, disguised from greed,

And I'm just a child who belongs on her knees.

[Chorus]

But I found a boy who I love more,

Than I ever did you before,

So stand beside the river I cried,

F#m D Bm

And let yourself down.

A E

Look how you want me now that I don't need you.

So, you thought that I would crumble to my knees

F#m D

At the first sight of you, crawling back to me

To whisper 'will you leave your man?'

Cause you sweared that this time you can stand by me.

I won't stand by you.

But I found a boy who I love more,

I ain't yours for no taking,

You must be mistaken

I could never look in your eyes, and settle for wrong

And ignore the right

[Chorus]

Than you ever did before,

D C#

So stand beside the river you’ll cry,

Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
