Notes: -  is actually , shown as  for simplicity

Capo 4th fret 

I've been a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me
Well little one, I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain,   truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain
So let the river run

   He's comin' home with his neck scratched to catch flack
   Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatched
On his breath's Jack, he's a sex addict and she just wants to
Exact revenge and get back

It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jet-pack
She's kept track of all his Internet chats and guess who just
Happens to be movin' on to the next actually
Just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks

  'Cause she loves danger, psychopath
   And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even I know that
   But she's devised some plan to stab him in the back
Knife in hand, says the relationship's hangin' by a strand

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

After the first night, but tonight I am

I've been a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me
Well little one, I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain,   truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
   So let the river run

One-night stand turned to a two-night stand, it was
"Come sunlight, scram," now we hug tight and
He found out, now she feels deserted and used
'Cause he left, so what, he did it first to her too

Now how  I supposed to tell this girl that we're through?
It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous and Sue
Don't want this to hurt but what you deserve is the truth
Don't take it personal, I just can't say this in person to you

   So I revert to the studio like hole-in-the-wall diners
Don't have to be reserved in a booth
I just feel like the person who I'm turnin' into's
Irreversible, I preyed on you like it's church at the pew

And now that I got you I don't want you
Took advantage in my thirst to pursue
Why Do I Do this dirt that I do?
Get on my soapbox and preach, my sermon and speech
Detergent 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

I've been (fuck!) a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me
Well little one, I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain,   truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
   So let the river run

My name's (oh-oh), my name's (oh-oh) Denver (oh-oh), river run
Just call me (oh-oh), call me (oh-oh) River (oh-oh)
N..
We'll let the river run

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

But I made you terminate my baby
This love triangle left us in a wreck, tangled
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 our unborn child?

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