  			G#m                 B      E 
I've been a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat 
    F#   G#m                 B       E

If all it's gonna cause is pain,   truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain 
           F# 
So let the river run

She's kept track of all his internet chats and guess who just

Knife in hand, says the relationship's hanging by a strand 

G#m                                B 
   So she's been on the web lately 
     E                                 F# 
Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man 
G#m                             B 
   And I know she's using me to try to play him 
E 
I don't care, "hi Suzanne", but I shoulda' said "bye Suzanne" 

After the first night, but tonight I am

Verso 2 
G#m                                            B 
One night stand turned into two night stayin', it was cold 
    E                                        F# 
And some might scram, y'all we hug tight and

            E                      C#5              F#

It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous and suited 
          G#m 
When it's too hurtful but what you deserve is the truth 
       B           E                             C#5           F#

G#m                                    B           E 
   So I revert to the studio like Hole In The Wall diners 
                                     F# 
Don't have to be reserved in a booth 
  G#m                                              B 
I just feel like the person who I'm turnin' into's 
     E                                  C#5               F# 
Irreversible, I prayed on you like it's church at the pew 

               G#m 
And now that I got you I don't want you 
               B               E 
Took advantage of my thirst to pursue 
                                 F# 
Why do I do this dirt that I do? 
           G#m                                     B 
Get off my soapbox and preach, my sermon in speech 
          E 
Detergent and bleach is burned in the womb 

'Cause now with her in the womb 

We can't bring her in this world, shoulda knew 

To use protection 'fore I bit into your forbidden fruit

Ponte 
G#m                B                 E 
My name's (oh-oh), my name's (oh-oh) Denver (oh-oh), never run 
     G#m              B               E 
Just call me (oh-oh), call me (oh-oh) River (oh-oh) 
N.C. 
We'll let the river run 


Verso 3 
E 
   Always the bride's maid, never the bride, hey 
F# 
   Fuck can I say, if life was a highway 
E 
   The sequel’s an enclave, I’ll be swerving in five lanes 
G#m                      F# 
   Speeds at a high rate like I'm sliding on ice maybe 
E 
   That's why I'm made, that came at you sideways 
G#m 
   I can't keep my lies straight 

         E 
What I made you terminate my baby 
              G#m 
This love triangle left us in a wreck tangled 
                E 
What else can I say, it was fun for a while, bet I really woulda loved your smile 

Didn't really wanna abort but fuck it, what's one more lie to tell an unborn child?

If all it's gonna cause is pain,   the truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
