Alessia Cara - River Of Tears Chords

Capo 1

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
