[Ab] I've been a liar, been [B] a thief, [E] been a lover, been [Gb] a cheat
[Abm] All my sins need holy [B] water, [E] feel it washing over [Gb] me
[Ab] Oh little one, I don't wanna [Bm] admit to [E] something
If all it's gonna [G] cause is [Ab] pain, truth in [B] my lies
[Em] Right now we're falling like the [Gb] rain, so let [Abm] the river run
He's coming home with his neck scrapped to [E] catch flack
Sweat jackets and [Bb] dress slacks, mismatched
[Abm] On his breast jack, he's a sex addict
And [E] she just wants to egg stack her bins and [Gb] get [Ab] backpacks
It's a [Abm] chess match, she's on his back like a [E] jetpack
She's kept track of all his internet [Gb] chats
[Abm] And guess who just happens to be moving on to the next
[E] Actually, this 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 [Abm] man's girl, even I know that
But she's defying some plan to stab [E] him in the back
Knife in hand, says her [Ebm] relationships 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 [Abm] am
I've been a liar, been a thief, [E] been a lover, been [Gb] a cheat
All [Abm] my sins need holy [B] water, [E] feel it washing [Dbm] over me
[Abm] Oh little one, I don't wanna [B] admit to [E] something
All that's gonna [Gb] cause is [Abm] pain
Truth in [B] my life, [E] now I'm falling [Dbm] like the rain
So let [Abm] the river run, my nightstand, turn it [B] to [E] nightstand
It was calm, some light scrammed, now we [Gb] on tight, [Abm] man
He found out, now she feels deserted and [E] used cause he left
So [Dbm] what, he did it [Gb] first to her [Abm] too
Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we're [E] through?
It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous and [Abm] sued
I want this to hurt her, but you deserve it, it's the truth
Don't [E] take it personal, I just can't say this in [Gb] person to [Abm] you
So I referred to the studio, like [E] calling up 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 prayed on you like it's church at the pew
[Abm] And now that I got you, I don't want you
Took advantage [E] of my thirst to pursue
Why do I do this dirt that I [Abm] do?
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 gross to the new
To use protection for a bid until you're [Abm] forbidden through
Living a lie of innocence, [E] breathing of a virgin
[Gb] All [Abm] my sins need holy [B] water, [E] live washing [Dbm] over me
[Abm] Little one, I don't want to [B] admit to [E] something
Your loneliness is gonna [Gb] cause this [Abm] pain
Truth in my life, [E] now it's falling [Db] like the rain
So let [Abm] the river run
My name, [B] my [E] name is Emma
[Ab] River Runners [B] call me, [E] call me River
Well let the river run
Always bridesmaid, never [Gb] bridehead
But can I say, if life was [E] a highway
The secret was an enclave, I'd be swerving in five [Abm] lanes
Speed at [Gb] a high rate, like I'm sliding [E] on ice maybe
That's why I made, if it came at [Gb] you sideways
I can't keep my lies straight
[B] I [Ebm] made you terminate my baby
This [B] love triangle left us [Ebm] in a rectangle
[E] What else can I say?
It was fun for a while
Bet I really would've loved your smile
Didn't really wanna avoid, but fuck it
What's one more lie to tell a [Ab] unborn child?
Living a lie of being a [Bm] thief, [E] being a lover, being a [B] cheat
All [Abm] my sins need holy [Gb] water, [E] feel it washing over me
[Abm] Little one, I don't want to [Bm] admit to [E] something
Your fullness is gonna [B] cause this [Abm] pain
The truth in my [B] life, [E] now it's falling
[Abm] All my sins need holy [B] water, [E] feel it washing over [Gb] me
