I've been a liar, been a thief, [E] been a lover, been a cheat
[Ab] All my sins need holy water, [E] feel it washing over me
[Ab] Oh little one, I don't want to admit to [E] something
If all it's gonna cause is [Eb] pain
Truth in [B] my lies, right now [Em] we're falling like the rain
So let [Abm] the river run
He's coming home with his neck scrapped to [E] catch flack
Sweat jackets and dress slacks, [Abm] mismatched
On his breast stack, he's a sex addict
And [E] she just wants to take a second and get back
[Abm] It's a chess match, she's on his back like a [E] jet pack
She's kept track of all his internet chats
And [Abm] guess who just happens to be moving on to the next
[E] Actually just shit on my last chick and she has what my [Abm] ex lacks
Cause she loves danger, [E] psychopath
And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even [Abm] I know that
But she's defying some plan to stab [E] him in the back
Snipe in hand, says her relationship's hanging [Abm] by a strand
She's been on the web lately, [E] says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy
[Abm] Despite her man, and I know she's using me to [E] try to play him
I don't care, hi Suzanne, but I should've said bye Suzanne
After the first night, but tonight I am
[Abm] I've been a liar, been a thief, [E] been a lover, been a cheat
All [Abm] my sins need holy water, [E] feel it washing [Dbm] over me
[Abm] Oh little one, I don't want to admit to [E] something
If all it's gonna cause is [Abm] pain
Truth in my lies, [E] now I'm falling [Dbm] like the rain
So let [Abm] the river run, my nightstand, turn it to [E] nightstand
It was cause some lights crammed, now we on tight [Abm] band
He found out, now she feels deserted and [E] used cause he left
So what, he did it first to her [Abm] too
Now how am I supposed to tell this girl to get through
[E] It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous
And [Abm] soon to point is too hurtful, but you deserve it's the truth
Don't [E] take it personal, I just can't say this in person to [Abm] you
So I revert to the studio, like [E] Conan of all diners
Don't have to be reserved in a [Abm] booth
I just feel like the person who I'm turning into
[E] Irreversible, I preyed on you like it's church at the pew
[Abm] And now that I got you, I don't want you
Took advantage [E] in my thirst to pursue
Why do I do this dirt that I do?
[Abm] Get on my soapbox and preach my sermon
And [E] speech detergent and bleach is burning the womb
Cause now with her in the womb, we can't bring her in this world
Should've knew to use protection for a bit until you're [Abm] forbidden fruit
I've been a liar, been a thief, [E] been a lover, been a cheat
You know [Abm] my sins need holy water, [E] they're washing [Dbm] over me
[Abm] Little one, I don't want to admit to [E] something
The only thing that's gonna cause this [Abm] pain
The truth in my life
[E] Now I'm fallin' [Db] like the rain
So let [Ab] the river run
[B] My name, oh, my name, [E] oh, oh
River, oh, oh
[Ab] River runs all me, [B] oh, oh
All me, [E] oh, oh
River, oh, oh
So let the river run
Always the bridesmaid, never [Gb] the bridehead
Fuckin' I say, the flight was [E] a highway
The seat was an enclave, I be swervin' in five lanes
Speed at [Gb] a high rate, like I'm sliding [E] in ice, maybe
That's why I made, that came at [Gb] you sideways
I can't keep my lines straight
[B] That's why I made you terminate my baby
This love triangle left us in a rectangle
[E] What else can I say?
It was fun for a while
Bet I really woulda loved your smile
Didn't really wanna avoid, but fuck it
What's one more lie to tell a [Abm] unborn child?
I'm tired of being a thief, [E] being a lover, being a cheater
[Abm] My sins need holy water, [E] feel it washing over me
[Ab] Little one, I don't mean to do [E] something
If all it's gonna cause is [Eb] pain
The truth in my [B] lies, now we're [E] falling like the rain
[Gb] So let the river run
[Ab] All my sins need holy water, [E] feel it washing over me
[Ab] Oh little one, I don't want to admit to [E] something
