Pre-chorus: G A Bm A G A E
Chorus: Bm A E
Lyrics:
Verse1:
Everybody tells me it's about time that I moved on.
And I need to learn to lighten up and learn how to be young!
But my heart is a valley...
It's so shallow and man made
I'm scared to death if I let you in that you'll see I'm just a fake
Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch
But I know that's just me cause nothing ever is enough
When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea
There was something in the water, now that something's in me
Pre chorus:
Ohhhhh I can't go back, but the reeds are growing out of my fingertips
I can't go back to the river
Chorus:
But it's in my roots, it's in my veins
It's in my blood
And I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain
It's in my roots
It's in my veins
It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain
Verse2:
I should probably warn you now before its way too late.
That I never meant to hurt your or to lie straight to your face.
Consider this my apology. I know it's years in advance.
But I'd rather say it now in case I never get the chance.
Pre chorus:
Ohhhhh I can't go back, but the reeds are growing out of my fingertips
I can't go back to the river
Repeat chorus
