Capo 4 

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 
 The River Lea, The River Lea 

 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
