I'm a little unsure of the Bridge so if anybody has a way to improve it let me know!
 
Capo: 1
 
F/C & F, and F5/C & F5 are interchangeable
Personally I just find it easier to not play the low E string so I use F/C and F5/C.

[Intro]
 
Dm  F  F5  C
 
 
[Verse]
 
Dm                             F
Still got the flowers that you sent
 
        F5                               C
And the note you wrote that said we were meant, to be forever
 
Dm                    F
I keep them all as evidence
 
     F5                                   C
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
 
Dm
I don't know why, I keep
 
F
Letting you lie to me
 
F5
Hard as I try, it seems
 
C
I can't break away
 
               Dm
I thought that you would be the hero
 
          F
Come and save the day
 
                    F5
But you're a villain
 
                    C
Your sins unforgiven
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             Dm                              F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
 
                  F5                       C
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
 
              Dm                               F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
 
                 F5                  C
The river of tears has washed me clean
 
Dm                         F
 Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well
 
F5                      C
 I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away
 
Dm                        F
 So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
 
F5                   C
 In a river of tears, In a river of tears
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Dm                          F
I catch your scent in every wind
 
        F5                               C
And I recall the love we had, I can't pretend
 
     Dm                             F
That I don't miss you every now and then
 
        F5
But the hurt is for the better
 
       C
Moving on, it's now or never
 
Dm                            F
Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry
 
               F5
Like there's a sea in my eyes
 
         C
I realize that sometimes 
 
                      Dm
love brings you flowers
 
                          F
Then it builds you coffins
 
                 F5
And far too often
 
                 C
We end up falling to our demise
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             Dm                              F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
 
                  F5                       C
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
 
              Dm                               F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
 
                 F5                  C
The river of tears has washed me clean
 
Dm                         F
 Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well
 
F5                      C
 I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away
 
Dm                        F
 So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
 
F5                   C
 In a river of tears, In a river of tears
 
 
[Bridge]
 
F5                       F                 F5   C
Cry me a river, build myself a bridge, I'm over this
 
F5
 Can't let memories become the death of me, I'm glad to see
 
F
 Everything that you are
 
C                          F
 And I believe that you are everything I needed
 
                        F5
But I don't need no more
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             Dm                              F
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
 
                  F5                       C
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
 
              Dm                               F
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
 
                 F5                  C
The river of tears has washed me clean
 
Dm                         F
 Go 'head and wish me well, I'll cry a wishing well
 
F5                      C
 I'll fly before I fail, I'll set sail and drift away
 
Dm                        F
 So I won't need you here, Love sinks and hope floats
 
F5                   C
 In a river of tears, In a river of tears
 
 
 
Hope you like it!
