  			     C                        C7  
What good does it do to hold onto   
     F                 C  
The anger deep in your heart  
                                   C7  
You're the only one that it's hurting  
           F                      G7  
You're the one that it's tearing apart  
    C                                   C7  
I'm sorry that he broke your heart, girl   
     F              C  
It's time to let it go  
C                    F  
Sometimes love is a river of tears  
G7                      C  
So pick up the oars and row  
  
  
He shattered your expectations  
He broke all his promises too  
With his little white lies he looked in your eyes  
And made you believe they were true  
Ahh but this ain't the final curtain  
Girl it's time to get on with the show  
Sometimes love is a river of tears  
So pick up the oars and row  
  
  
BRIDGE:  
F                          G7                   C  
It's been far too long now since I've seen you smile  
G                                          F                     C  
Bitterness don't look good on you and self-pity just ain't your style  
F                                       G                     C  
Sooner or later you know you've got to play the cards you've drawn  
G               F                  G                    C  
It's all up to you, you can stay blue, or you can move on  
  
  
Ain't it hard when you discover  
Things aint' what you thought they would be  
When all of your best laids plains  
Hit the wall of reality  
Still all and all it's a pretty good life  
But it sure can be painful I know  
Sometimes love is a river of tears  
So pick up the oars and row  
  
  
Sometimes love is a river of tears  
So pick up the oars and row
