River Lea piano leadsheet with chords

Ev'rybody tells me it's 'bout time that I moved on,

that I need to learn to lighten up and learn how to be young.

But my heart is a valley,

it's so shallow and manmade,

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

Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch,

but I know that's just me 'cause nothing ever is enough.

When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea,

there was something in the water,

now that something's in me.

Oh, I can't go back,

but the reeds are growing out of my fingertips,

I can't go back

to the river.

But it's in my roots, in my veins,

it's in my blood and I stain ev'ry heart that I use to heal the pain.

Oh, it's in my roots, in my veins,

it's in my blood and I stain ev'ry heart that I use to heal the pain.

So I blame it on the River Lea,

the River Lea, the River Lea.

Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea,

the River Lea, the River Lea.

Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch,

but I know that's just me 'cause nothing ever is enough.

When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea,

there was something in the water,

now that something's in me.

Oh, I can't go back,

but the reeds are growing out of my fingertips,

I can't go back

to the river.

But it's in my roots, in my veins,

it's in my blood and I stain ev'ry heart that I use to heal the pain.

Oh, it's in my roots, in my veins,

it's in my blood and I stain ev'ry heart that I use to heal the pain.

So I blame it on the River Lea,

the River Lea, the River Lea.

Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea,

the River Lea, the River Lea.

River Lea.

So I blame it on the River Lea,

the River Lea, the River Lea.

Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea,

the River Lea, the River Lea.

River Lea, River Lea.

River Lea, River Lea.

River Lea, River Lea.

River Lea, River Lea.

River Lea, River Lea.
