I thought I told you, he'd be home soon
AE
Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true.
AE
I fall short each time, every time he ain't here,
AE
You and your charm creep closer, closer in here.
GbmD
Like a fool for fire I fall, with my pride and all.
B7
Like a bomb before explosion,
E
Ticking by your call.
AE
You're the wiser one, disguised from greed,

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

DDb
But I found a boy who I love more,
Gbm
Than I ever did you before,
DDb
So stand beside the river I cried,
GbmDBm
And let yourself down.
AE
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
AE
So, you thought that I would crumble to my knees
GbmD
At the first sight of you, crawling back to me
EGbm
To whisper 'will you leave your man?'
DEA
Cause you sweared that this time you can stand by me.
E
I won't stand by you.
Β
DDb
But I found a boy who I love more,
Gbm
Than I ever did you before,

So stand beside the river I cried,
GbmDBm
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
A
I could never look in your eyes, and settle for wrong
Β
And ignore the right

DDb
But I found a boy who loves me more,

And let yourself down.

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