Intro: 

     A        E

              A                     E
  I thought I told you, he'd be home soon
                A                           E
Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true. 
                 A                          E
I fall short each time, every time he ain't here, 
                           A                 E
You and your charm creep closer, closer in here.
                       F#m                       D
  Like a fool for fire I fall, with my pride and all.
                      B7
Like a bomb before explosion, 
                D    E
Ticking by your call.
             A                   E
  You're the wiser one, disguised from greed, 
E/F            F#m                      D        E
And I'm just a child who belongs on her knees.


Chorus:
      D                 C#
  But I found a boy who I love more, 
     F#m       F#m/E
Than I ever did you before, 
    D                 C#
So stand beside the river I cried 
      F#m     F#m/E    D   D/C#   Bm
And    let    yourself    down.

                                           A     E
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
        A                               E
So, you thought that I would crumble to my knees
       E/F     F#m                          D
At the first sight of you, crawling back to me
    E       E/F      F#m
To whisper 'will you leave your man?'
F#m/E                  D                E            A
Cause you sweared that this time you can stand by me.
                 E
I won't stand by you.


Chorus:
        D                 C#
  Cause I found a boy who I love more, 
     F#m       F#m/E
Than I ever did you before, 
    D                     C#
So stand beside the river I cried, 
      F#m   F#m/E   D  D/C#   Bm
And   let   yourself   down.

                                            F
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
                            Dm6
I ain't yours for no taking,
                    E
You must be mistaken
                           E/G#      A7
I could never look in your eyes, and settle for wrong

And ignore the right


Chorus:
      D                   C#
 When I found a boy who loves me more, 
     F#m       F#m/E
Than you ever did before, 
    D                     C#
So stand beside the river I cried, 
      F#m   F#m/E   D  D/C#   Bm
And   let   yourself   down.
              A               E             A
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
