AE
i thought i told you, he’d be home soon
AE
couldn’t help myself, you’re too good to be true.
AE
i fall short each time, every time he ain’t here,
AE
you and your charm creep closer, closer in here.
F#mD
like a fool for fire i fall, with my pride and all.
B7
like a bomb before explosion,
E
ticking by your call.
AE
you’re the wiser one, disguised from greed,
F#mDE
and i’m just a child who belongs on her knees.
chorus:
DC#
but i found a boy who i love more,
F#m
than i ever did you before,
DC#
so stand beside the river i cried,
F#mDBm
and let yourself down.
AE
look how you want me now that i don’t need you.
AE
so, you thought that i would crumble to my knees
F#mD
at the first sight of you, crawling back to me
EF#m
to whisper ‘will you leave your man?’
DEA
cause you sweared that this time you can stand by me.
E
i won’t stand by you.
chorus:
DC#
but i found a boy who i love more,
F#m
than i ever did you before,
DC#
so stand beside the river i cried,
F#mDBm
and let yourself down.
F
look how you want me now that i don’t need you.
Dm6
i ain’t yours for no taking,
E
you must be mistaken
A
i could never look in your eyes, and settle for wrong
and ignore the right

DC#
but i found a boy who loves me more,

look how you want me now that i don’t need you.
