River Lea

(C)Ev'rybody tells me it's 'bout (D)time that I moved on,

that I (Em)need to learn to lighten up and (D)learn how to be young.

But (C)my heart is a valley,

it's so (D)shallow and manmade,

I'm (Em)scared to death if I let you in that you'll (D)see I'm just a fake.

(C)Sometimes I feel lonely in the (D)arms of your touch,

but I (Em)know that's just me 'cause nothing (D)ever is enough.

(C)When I was a child I grew up (D)by the River Lea,

there was (Em)something in the water,

now that (D)something's in me.

Oh, I can't go back,

but the (Em)reeds are growing out of my (D)fingertips,

I can't go back

to the (A)river.

But it's in my (Em)roots, in my (D)veins,

it's in my blood and I (Em)stain ev'ry heart that I (D)use to heal the (A)pain.

Oh, it's in my (Em)roots, in my (D)veins,

it's in my blood and I (Em)stain ev'ry heart that I (D)use to heal the (A)pain.

So I blame it on the (Em)River Lea,

the (D)River Lea, the River Lea.

(Em)Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea,

the (D)River Lea, the (A)River Lea.
