[INTRO]  Abm B E Abm B E

[CHORUS]
             Abm
I've been a liar, been a thief
B        E
Been a lover, been a cheat
  F#    Abm                 B        E
All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
            Abm                             B      E
Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something
E                          F#  Abm
If all it's gonna cause is pain
 Abm               B                E
Truth and my lies right now are falling like the rain
            F#     Abm
So let the river run

[VERSE]
Abm
He's comin' home with 
                         B
His neck scratched, to catch flack
E                               F#
Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatched
 Abm
On his breath's Jack, he's a sex addict
       B                 E                  C#m
And she just wants to exact revenge and get back
       Abm                                    B
It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jet-pack
     E
She's kept track of all his Internet chats
      F#              Abm
And guess who just happens to be movin' on to the next
B                E
Actually, just shit on my last chick 
         C#m
And she has what my ex lacks

Abm                        B
'Cause she loves danger, psychopath
E
And you don't fuck 
E                          F#
With no man's girl, even I know that
Abm                                       B
But she's devised some plan to stab him in the back
E
Knife in hand, 
E                           F#
Says their relationship's hangin' by a strand
Abm
So she's been on the web lately
 B           E                           F#
Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man
Abm
And I know she's using me 
   B                    E
To try to play him, I don't care
E                                   
Hi Suzanne, but I shoulda said "Bye Suzanne"
E                           F#
After the first night, but tonight I am

[CHORUS]
              Abm
I've been a liar, been a thief
B          E
Been a lover, been a cheat
    F# Abm                   B           E         C#m
All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
            Abm                                B
Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something
E                             F#
If all it's gonna cause is pain
Abm                     B         E                C#m
The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain
C#m             Abm
So let the river run

[INSTRUMENTAL] Abm B E F# x4

[BRIDGE]
Abm
One-night stand, turned to a two-night stand
B               E                                F#
It was "come sunlight, scram," now we hug tight, and...

[VERSE]
        Abm                                 B
He found out, now she feels deserted and used
 B         E                     C#m
'Cause he left, so what? He did it first to her too
     Abm
Now how am I supposed 
                               B
To tell this girl that we're through?
       E
It's hard to find the words, 
                        F#
I'm aloof, nervous, and Sue
                      Abm
Don't want this to hurt, 
 Abm
But what you deserve is the truth
       B             E
Don't take it personal, 
E                          C#m
I just can't say this in person to you

Abm
So I revert to the studio, 
       B                  E
Like hole-in-the-wall diners
E                              F#
Don't have to be reserved in a booth
   Abm
I just feel like the person who I'm turning into's
B          E
Irreversible, 
E                         F#
I preyed on you like it's church at the pew
               Abm
And now that I got you I don't want you
                  B                E
Took advantage in my thirst to pursue
E                            F#
Why do I do this dirt that I do?
            Abm                              B
Get on my soapbox and preach, my sermon and speech
          E
Detergent and bleach is burnin' the wound
 E
'Cause now with her in the womb
E
We can't bring her in this world, shoulda knew
E
To use protection 
E
'fore I bit into your forbidden fruit
E
Fuck!

[CHORUS]
              Abm
I've been a liar, been a thief
B          E
Been a lover, been a cheat
    F# Abm                   B           E         C#m
All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
            Abm                                B
Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something
E                             F#
If all it's gonna cause is pain
Abm                     B         E                C#m
The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain
C#m             Abm
So let the river run

[BRIDGE]
Abm              B
My name's (ooh), my name's (ooh)
E
River (ooh), river run
Abm              B
Call me (ooh), call me (ooh)
E
River (ooh), we'll let the river run

[INSTRUMENTAL] Abm B E F# x4

[VERSE]
E
Always the bridesmaid, never "The bride, hey!"
F#
Fuck can I say? If life was a highway
    E
And deceit was an enclave, 
E
I'd be swerving in five lanes
Abm                      F#
Speeds at a high rate, like I'm slidin' on ice, maybe
E
That's why I may have came at you sideways
F#
I can't keep my lies straight
F#      Abm
But I made you terminate my baby
Abm
This love triangle left us in a wreck, tangled
                   E
What else can I say? It was fun for a while
E
Bet I really woulda loved your smile
E
Didn't really wanna abort, but fuck it
E
What's one more lie, to tell our unborn child?

[CHORUS]
            Abm
I've been a liar, been a thief
  B       E
Been a lover, been a cheat
   F#    Abm                    B        E
All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
       F#     Abm
Well, little one (I'm sorry)
 Abm                        B       E
I don't want to admit to something (I fucked up)
E                           F#
If all it's gonna cause is pain
      Abm               B        E
The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain
            F#     Abm
So let the river run
