Capo: 1
F/C & F, and F5/C & F5 are interchangeable
Personally I just find it easier to not play the low E string so I use F/C and F5/C.

Dm, F, F5, C
Dm F
Still got the flowers that you sent
F5 C
And the note you wrote that said we were meant, to be forever
Dm F
I keep them all as evidence
F5 C
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
Dm
I don't know why, I keep
F
Letting you lie to me
F5
Hard as I try, it seems
C
I can't break away
Dm
I thought that you would be the hero
F
Come and save the day
F5
But you're a villain
C
Your sins unforgiven
[Chorus]
Dm F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
F5 C
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Dm F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
F5 C
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm F
Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well
F5 C
I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away
Dm F
So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
F5 C
In a river of tears, In a river of tears
[Verse 2]
Dm F
I catch your scent in every wind
F5 C
And I recall the love we had, I can't pretend
Dm F
That I don't miss you every now and then
F5
But the hurt is for the better
C
Moving on, it's now or never
Dm F
Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry
F5
Like there's a sea in my eyes
C
I realize that sometimes
Dm
love brings you flowers
F
Then it builds you coffins
F5
And far too often
C
We end up falling to our demise
[Chorus]
Dm F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
F5 C
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Dm F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
F5 C
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm F
Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well
F5 C
I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away
Dm F
So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
F5 C
In a river of tears, In a river of tears
[Bridge]
F5 F F5 C
Cry me a river, build myself a bridge, I'm over this
F5
Can't let memories become the death of me, I'm glad to see
F
Everything that you are
C F
And I believe that you are everything I needed
F5
But I don't need no more
[Chorus]
Dm F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
F5 C
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Dm F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
F5 C
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm F
Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well
F5 C
I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away
Dm F
So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
F5 C
In a river of tears, In a river of tears
