Intro Chorus: Ed Sheeran:
      Em         G   C/G
I’ve been a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
  D/A Em         G    C/G
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin’ over me
   D/A    Em             G     C/G
Well little one, I don’t want to admit to something
              D/A Em         G       C/G
If all it’s gonna cause is pain, truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain
      D/A
So let the river run

Verse 1: Eminem:
Em                       G
  He’s coming home with his neck scratched to catch flack
C/G                 D/A
  Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatch
Em                    G
On his pressed jacket is a sex addict and she just wants to
C/G        A5    D/F#
Exact revenge and get back

     Em                  G
It’s a chess match, she’s on his back like a jetpack
   C/G                   D/A
She’s kept track of all his internet chats and guess who just
Em                  G
Happens to be moving on to the next actually
   C/G              A5      D/F#
Just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks

Em             G
  ’Cause she loves danger, psychopath
C/G                       D/A
  And you don’t fuck with no man’s girl, even I know that
Em                     G
  But she’s devised some plan to stab him in the back
C/G             A5         D/F#
Knife in hand, says the relationship’s hanging by a strand

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

After the first night, but tonight I am


Chorus 1: Ed Sheeran:
      Em         G   C/G
I’ve been a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
  D/A Em         G    C/G     A5
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin’ over me
        Em             G     C/G
Well little one, I don’t want to admit to something
              D/A Em        G    C/G
If all it’s gonna cause is pain, truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
A5
  So let the river run


Verse 2: Eminem:
Em                       G
One night stand turned into two night stayin’, it was cold
  C/G                   D/A
And some might scram, y’all we hug tight and
     Em                  G
He found out, now she feels deserted and used
      C/G          A5        D/F#
’Cause he left, so what, he did it first to her too

  Em                           G
Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we’re through?
   C/G                      D/A
It’s hard to find the words, I’m aloof, nervous and suited
     Em
When it’s too hurt but what you deserve is the truth
    G      C/G              A5      D/F#
Don’t take it personal, I just can’t say this in person to you

Em                   G      C/G
  So I revert to the studio like Hole In The Wall diners
                   D/A
Don’t have to be reserved in a booth
 Em                        G
I just feel like the person who I’m turnin’ into’s
   C/G                A5        D/F#
Irreversible, I prayed on you like it’s church at the pew

        Em
And now that I got you I don’t want you
        G       C/G
Took advantage of my thirst to pursue
                 D/A
Why do I do this dirt that I do?
      Em                   G
Get off my soapbox and preach, my sermon in speech
     C/G
Detergent and bleach is burned in the womb

’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 2: Ed Sheeran:
          Em         G   C/G
I’ve been (fuck!) a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
  D/A Em         G    C/G     A5
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin’ over me
        Em             G     C/G
Well little one, I don’t want to admit to something
              D/A Em        G    C/G
If all it’s gonna cause is pain, truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
A5
  So let the river run


Bridge: Eminem & Ed Sheeran:
Em         G         C/G
My name’s (oh-oh), my name’s (oh-oh) Denver (oh-oh), never run
   Em        G        C/G
Just call me (oh-oh), call me (oh-oh) River (oh-oh)
N.C.
We’ll let the river run


Verse 3: Eminem:
C/G
  Always the bride’s maid, never the bride, hey
D
  Fuck can I say, if life was a highway
C/G
  The sequel’s an enclave, I’ll be swerving in five lanes

C/G           D
  Speeds at a high rate like I’m sliding on ice maybe
C/G
  That’s why I’m made, that came at you sideways
D
  I can’t keep my lies straight

     C/G
What I made you terminate my baby
       D
This love triangle left us in a wreck tangled
        C/G
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 an unborn child?


Chorus 3: Ed Sheeran:
      Em         G   C/G
I’ve been a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat
  D/A Em         G    C/G
All my sins need holy water, feel it washin’ over me
   D/A    Em                   G     C/G
Well little one, (I’m sorry) I don’t want to admit to something (I fucked up)
              D/A Em           G    C/G
If all it’s gonna cause is pain,  the truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
      D/A
So let the river run (river run, river run, river run)
