I've been a liar, been a thief, [E] been a lover, been a cheat
All [Ab] my sins need holy water, [E] feel it washing over me
Oh [Abm] little ones, I don't want to admit to [E] something
If foolish kinda causes [Abm] pain, truth in my [B] lies
Right now we're [Em] falling like the rain, so let the [Abm] river run
He's coming home with his neck scrapped to [E] catch flack
Sweat jackets and dress slacks, [Abm] mismatched
On his breast jack, he's a sex addict
And [E] she just wants to egg, sack, binge, and get back
[Abm] It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jet [E] 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, there's 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 him [E] in the back
Sniping hands as the relationship's hanging [Abm] by a strand
She's been on the web lately, [E] says maybe she'll be my twin 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, being a thief, [E] breathing love, I've been a cheat
Oh [Abm] my sins need holy water, [E] feel it washing [Dbm] over me
Oh [Abm] little ones, I don't want to admit to [E] something
Your foolishness gonna cause this [Abm] pain
The truth in my lies, [E] now I'm falling [Dbm] like the rain
So let [Abm] the river run, my nightstand, turn it to nightstand
[E] It was called some light scram, now we hung tight [Abm] and
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 that we're [E] through
It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous
And [Abm] so the point is to hurt her, but she deserves 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] calling a ball 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] 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 pit until you're forbidden fruit
I've [Ab] been a liar, been a thief
[E] Been a lover, been a cheat
All [Abm] my sins need holy water
[E] Completely washing [Dbm] over me
[Ab] Little one, I don't want to admit to [E] something
If all it's gonna cause is [Abm] pain
Truth in my life
[E] And now I'm falling [Db] like the rain
So let [Ab] the river run
[B] My name, my [E] name, my name, my name, my name
[Ab] River run, [B] call me, call [E] me, call me River run
Well let the river run
Always the bridesmaid, never [Gb] the bride
Hey, fuck and I say
If life [E] was a highway, the seat was an enclave
I'd be swerving in five lanes
Speed at [Gb] a high rate, like I'm sliding [E] on ice
Maybe that's why I made it
Came at [Gb] you sideways, I can't keep my lies straight
[B] What 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 would've loved your smile
Didn't really wanna avoid
But fuck it, what's one more lie
To tell a [Abm] unborn child?
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 over me
[Abm] Little one, I don't want to admit to [E] something
If all it's gonna cause is [Eb] pain
The truth in my life
