Ed Sheeran Eminem - River

Intro:

I’ve been a {G#m}liar, been a thief, {H}been a {E}lover, been a cheat
All {F#}my si{G#m}ns need holy water, {H}feel it {E}washin’ over me
Well {F#}little one{G#m}, I don’t want to admit to {H}something{E}
If all it’s gonna cause is {F#}pain,{G#m}{ }truth in my lies {H}right now are {E}falling like the rain
So let the {F#}river run

Verse:

{G#m}He’s comin’ home with his neck scratched to {H}catch flack
{E}Sweat jackets and dress slacks, {F#}mismatched
{G#m}On his breath’s Jack, he’s a sex addict and {H}she just wants to
{E}Exact revenge and {C#5}get back{F#}

It’s a ch{G#m}ess match, she’s on his back like a {H}jet-pack
She’s {E}kept track of all his Internet chats and {F#}guess who just
{G#m}Happens to be movin’ on to the next ac{H}tually
Just {E}shit on my last chick and she {C#5}has what my e{F#}x lacks

{G#m}’Cause she loves danger, {H}psychopath
{E}And you don’t fuck with no man’s girl, even {F#}I know that
{G#m}But she’s devised some plan to stab him {H}in the back
{E}Knife in hand, says the rela{C#5}tionship’s hangin’ {F#}by a strand

{G#m}So she’s been on the web lately{H}
Says {E}maybe she’ll be my Gwen Stacy, to {F#}spite her man
{G#m}And I know she’s using me to {H}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

Chorus:

I’ve been a {G#m}liar, been a thief, {H}been a {E}lover, been a cheat
All {F#}my si{G#m}ns need holy water, {H}feel it {E}washin’ over {C#5}me
Well little one{G#m}, I don’t want to admit to {H}something{E}
If all it’s gonna cause is {F#}pain,{G#m}{ }truth in my lie{H}s now are {E}falling like the rain
{C#5}So let the river run

Verse:

{G#m}One-night stand turned to a two-night stand, {H}it was
“Come {E}sunlight, scram,” now we hug tight and{F#}
He found {G#m}out, now she feels deserted and used{H}
‘Cause he le{E}ft, so what, he did it {C#5}first to her too{F#}

Now {G#m}how am I supposed to tell this girl that we’re through?{H}
It’s {E}hard to find the words, I’m aloof, nervous and {F#}Sue
Don’t want this {G#m}to hurt but what you deserve is the truth
Don’t {H}take it perso{E}nal, I just can’t say this in {C#5}person to you{F#}

{G#m}So I revert to the studio like hole-{H}in-the-wall {E}diners
Don’t have to be reserved in a booth{F#}
I {G#m}just feel like the person who I’m turnin’ into’s{H}
Irrev{E}ersible, I preyed on you like it’s {C#5}church at the pew{F#}

And now that I {G#m}got you I don’t want you
Took advantage {H}in my thirst to {E}pursue
Why do I do this dirt that I do?{F#}
Get on my {G#m}soapbox and preach, my sermon and speech{H}
Detergent {E}and bleach is burnin’ the wound
‘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

Chorus:

I’ve been (fuck!) a {G#m}liar, been a thief, {H}been a {E}lover, been a cheat
All {F#}my si{G#m}ns need holy water, {H}feel it {E}washin’ over {C#5}me
Well little one{G#m}, I don’t want to admit to {H}something{E}
If all it’s gonna cause is {F#}pain,{G#m}{ }truth in my lies {H}now are {E}falling like the rain
{C#5}So let the river run

Bridge:

{G#m}My name’s (oh-oh), {H}my name’s (oh-oh) {E}Denver (oh-oh), river run
Just {G#m}call me (oh-oh), {H}call me (oh-oh) {E}River (oh-oh)
We’ll let the river run

Verse:

{E}Always the bridesmaid, never “the bride, hey”
{F#5}Fuck can I say, if life was a highway
{E}And deceit was an enclave, I’d be swerving in five lanes
{G#m}Speeds at a high rate {F#5}like I’m slidin’ on ice maybe
{E}That’s why I’m may have came at you sideways
{F#5}I can’t keep my lies straight

But I ma{G#m}de you terminate my baby
This love tria{G#m}ngle left us in a wreck, tangled
What else can I {E}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 our unborn child?

Chorus:

I’ve been a {G#m}liar, been a thief, {H}been a {E}lover, been a cheat
All {F#}my si{G#m}ns need holy water, {H}feel it {E}washin’ over me
Well {F#}little one{G#m}, (I’m sorry) I don’t want to admit to {H}something {E}(I fucked up)
If all it’s gonna cause is {F#}pain,{G#m}{ }the truth in my lies{H} now are {E}falling like the rain
So let the {F#}river run (river run, river run, river run)
