Intro: G A Bm E
G A
Everybody tells me it's 'bout time that I moved on
Bm E
And I need to learn to lighten up and learn how to be young
G A
But my heart is a valley, it's so shallow and man-made
Bm A
I'm scared to death if I let you in, you'll see I'm just a fake
G A
Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch
Bm A
But I know that's just me 'cause nothing ever is enough
G A
When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea
Bm A
There was something in the water, now that something's in me
G A
No, I can't go back
Bm A
But the ???s are growing out of my fingers
G A
I can't go back
E
To the river
Bm A
But it's in my roots, in my veins
E
In my blood and I'll slay
Bm A E
every heart that I use to heal the pain
Bm A
But it's in my roots, in my veins
E
In my blood and I'll slay
Bm A E
every heart that I use to heal the pain
E Bm
So I blame it on River lea
A
The River Lea, The River Lea
E Bm
Yeah, I blame it on River lea
A E
The River Lea, The River Lea
G
I should probably tell you now
A
before is way too late
Bm
that I never meant to hurt you
A
or to lie straight to your face
G
Consider this my apology
A
I know it's years in advance
Bm
But I rather say it now in case
A
I never get the chance
G A
No, I can't go back
Bm A
But the ???s are growing out of my fingers
G A
I can't go back
E
To the river
Bm A
But it's in my roots, in my veins
E
In my blood and I'll slay
Bm A E
every heart that I use to heal the pain
Bm A
But it's in my roots, in my veins
E
In my blood and I'll slay
Bm A E
every heart that I use to heal the pain
E Bm
So I blame it on River lea
A
The River Lea, The River Lea
E Bm
Yeah, I blame it on River lea
A E

E Bm
So I blame it on River lea
A
The River Lea, The River Lea
