Alessia Cara - River Of Tears

[intro]
D#m7  B  F#  C#

[verse]
D#m7                            B
Still got the flowers that you sent
        F#
And the note you wrote
                  C#
that said we're meant to be forever
D#m7                        B
I keep them all as evidence
      F#
In a drawer under the mirror,
              C#
filled with empty promises
G#m7
I don't know why
       D#m7
I keep letting you lie to me
F#
Hard as I try
           C#
It seems I can't break away
               D#m7
I thought that you would be the hero
         B
Come and save the day
                  F#
But you're a villain
                  C#
Your sins unforgiven

[chorus]
          D#m7
I'm going down,
                              B
and you have watched me drown
              F#
In a river of tears,
                   C#
lost beneath the stream
          D#m7
Under the waves,
                                B
I've found the strength to say
              F#                    C#
The river of tears has washed me clean
G#m7
Go 'head and wish me well
D#m
I'll cry a wishing well
F#
I'll fly before I fail
C#                       D#m7
I'll set sail and drift away
                       B
So I won't need you here
                         F#
Love sinks and hope floats
                  C#
In a river of tears

In a river of tears

[verse]
D#m7                         B
I catch your scent in every wind
         F#
And I recall the love we had
         C#             D#m7
I can't pretend that I
                             B
Don't miss you every now and then
        F#
But the hurt is for the better
        C#
Moving on, it's now or never
G#m7
Lost in the tide,
              D#m7
I can't keep my pillows dry
               F#
Like there's a sea in my eyes
      C#
I realise that
                            D#m7
sometimes love brings you flowers
                     B
Then it builds you coffins
               F#
And far too often
                  C#
We end up falling to our demise

[chorus]
          D#m7
I'm going down,
                              B
and you have watched me drown
              F#
In a river of tears,
                   C#
lost beneath the stream
          D#m7
Under the waves,
                                B
I've found the strength to say
              F#                    C#
The river of tears has washed me clean
G#m7
Go 'head and wish me well
D#m
I'll cry a wishing well
F#
I'll fly before I fail
C#                       D#m7
I'll set sail and drift away
                       B
So I won't need you here
                         F#
Love sinks and hope floats
                  C#
In a river of tears

In a river of tears

[bridge]
D#m7       C#           F#
Cry me a river, build myself a bridge
         G#m7
I'm over this,
         B
can't let memories become the death of me
            D#m7        C#            F#
I'm glad to see everything that you are
         G#m7
And I believe that
         B
you are everything I needed

But I don't need no more

[chorus]
          D#m7
I'm going down,
                              B
and you have watched me drown
              F#
In a river of tears,
                   C#
lost beneath the stream
          D#m7
Under the waves,
                                B
I've found the strength to say
              F#                    C#
The river of tears has washed me clean
G#m7
Go 'head and wish me well
D#m
I'll cry a wishing well
F#
I'll fly before I fail
C#                       D#m7
I'll set sail and drift away
                       B
So I won't need you here
                         F#
Love sinks and hope floats
                  C#
In a river of tears
