verse 1 

Em                                    C 
  Just give me a reason why I should take this 
Em                                  C 
  Laying at my feet expecting your sins just to be washed away 
E                   C                 E                               C 
  Cos you're a liar, and I'm the fire, that's gonna burn you to the ground 
E           C              E                     C   D 
  If desire, is my messiah, you'll never put me out 


              Em                                    C      Em Am 
So don't you call me up, to tap me up, cos I don't need you 
         Em                                             C      Em Am 
Yet you call me up, forget you give it up, so I gotta leave you 
       Em                           C Em Am 
Well that's the way the river flows 
     Em                                                  C       Em Am                          
You call me up, but you're out of luck, they'll never believe you 


verse 2 

Em                                       C 
  You're dropping up demons but I'll embrace it 
Em                                          C 
  What you pray in my fee collect all your sins just to resurrect the pain 
E                   C                 E                               C 
  Cos you're a liar, and I'm the fire, that's gonna burn you to the ground 
E           C              E                     C     
  If desire, is my messiah, you'll never put me out 

Em        C   D 
   (Ouuh ooh ouuh) 
Em            C            D 
(Oouh you'll never put me out) 


Bridge 

Am                       C 
  So quick and abandoning you'll cause a fight 
Em                                D 
  So quick and abandoning, then what's the point in life 
Am                       C                 D 
  I'm sick of abandoning, nor so sick of imagining 

Em   C Em Am 


              Em                                    C      Em Am 
So don't you call me up, to tap me up, cos I don't need you 
         Em                                             C      Em Am 
Yet you call me up, forget you give it up, so I gotta leave you 
      Am                         C 
Well that's the way the river flows 
  Em                        D 
That's the way the river flows 
  Am                        C 
That's the way the river flows 
  Em                        D 
That's the way the river flows
