Intro: C Am F G E7 Am C F 

C 
Four walls, a roof, and plenty of 
                          Am 
attention and food all my life. 
          F 
Don't you think that'd be enough 
                G 
To learn how to love you? 

C 
I'm sorry I don't always know 
just what to say, how to say it, 
                               Am 
and how to let the small things go. 
F                           G 
You make it look so easy to do. 

C                    Am         F             G 
'Cause if you're the River than I must be the spout. 
C          Am         F             G 
Where you deliver, I barely spit it out. 
             E7             Am                 C                F 
You know that no one wants a taste unless it's flowing cool and clean. 
C                   Am       F 
You're what love is made of. 
   G           C 
My imitation's cheap. 

C 
Honest, I don't remember when 
                                Am                       F 
I had a thought pass through my head not about me in the end 
      G 
and I don't know how to curb it. 

C 
Can't help but wonder why I don't 
                            Am                        F 
ever feel the icey touch of pointed fingers, told you so's. 
G 
Heaven knows I've earned it 

C                    Am         F             G 
'Cause if you're the River than I must be the spout. 
C          Am         F             G 
Where you deliver, I barely spit it out. 
             E7             Am                 C                F 
You know that no one wants a taste unless it's flowing cool and clean. 
C                   Am       F 
You're what love is made of. 
   G           C 
My imitation's cheap. 

E7 
I don't want to lose you 
Am 
and I know you're not a game I'm playin. 
C                     F 
When will I ever understand? 
E7 
The more I know it 
Am 
the less I want to show it. 
C                                   F 
Love means folding with a winning hand. 

C                    Am         F             G 
'Cause if you're the River than I must be the spout. 
C          Am         F             G 
Where you deliver, I barely spit it out. 
             E7             Am                 C                F 
You know that no one wants a taste unless it's flowing cool and clean. 
C                   Am       F 
You're what love is made of. 
   G           C 
My imitation's cheap.
