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
 Oh, I can't go back
         Bm                          A
 But the reeds are growing out of my fingertips
          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 stain
       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 reeds are growing out of my fingertips
          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 stain
       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

I found placing the capo on the fifth fret sounding even better. Thank you for the post.

The songs words are stain all the way through she never says slay. If you want proof look at Apple Music lyrics. Otherwise good chords
