River Of Tears chords by Alessia Cara

Tuning: Standard
Capo on 6th fret

Am7              F
Still got the flowers that you sent
    C                G
And the note you wrote that said we're meant to be forever
Am7            F
I keep them all as evidence
   C                  G
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
Dm7
I don't know why
    Am7
I keep letting you lie to me
C

Hard as I try
      G
It seems I can't break away
        Am7
I thought that you would be the hero
     F
Come and save the day
         C
But you're a villain
         G
Your sins unforgiven



     Am7                F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
       C            G
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
     Am7                  F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
       C          G
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm7
Go 'head and wish me well
Am
I'll cry a wishing well
C
I'll fly before I fail
G            Am7
I'll set sail and drift away
            F
So I won't need you here
             C
Love sinks and hope floats
         G
In a river of tears

In a river of tears



Am7             F
I catch your scent in every wind
     C
And I recall the love we had
     G       Am7
I can't pretend that I
               F
Don't miss you every now and then
    C
But the hurt is for the better
    G
Moving on, it's now or never
Dm7              Am7
Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry
        C
Like there's a sea in my eyes
   G                  Am7
I realise that sometimes love brings you flowers
           F
Then it builds you coffins
        C
And far too often
         G
We end up falling to our demise



     Am7                F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
       C            G
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
     Am7                  F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
       C          G
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm7
Go 'head and wish me well
Am
I'll cry a wishing well
C
I'll fly before I fail
G            Am7
I'll set sail and drift away
            F
So I won't need you here
             C
Love sinks and hope floats
         G
In a river of tears

In a river of tears



Am7    G      C
Cry me a river, build myself a bridge
     Dm7      F
I'm over this, can't let memories become the death of me
      Am7    G      C
I'm glad to see everything that you are
     Dm7        F
And I believe that you are everything I needed

But I don't need no more



Am7                     F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
       C            G
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
     Am7                  F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
       C          G
The river of tears has washed me clean
Dm7
Go 'head and wish me well
Am
I'll cry a wishing well
C
I'll fly before I fail
G            Am7
I'll set sail and drift away
            F
So I won't need you here
             C
Love sinks and hope floats
         G
In a river of tears

In a river of tears
