Adele – River Lea

[INTRO] B C# Ebm Ab
[VERSE]
B                              C#
Everybody tells me it's 'bout time that I moved on
         Ebm                    C#
And I need to learn to lighten up and how to be young
     B                             C#
But my heart is a valley, it's so shallow and man made
      Ebm                                       C#
I'm scared to death if I let you in that you'll see I'm just a fake
B                              C#
Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch
        Ebm                               C#
But I know that's just me cause nothing ever is enough
B                            C#
When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea
            Ebm                                C#
There was something in the water, now that something's in me
            B    C#         Ebm                                 C#
Oh I can't go back, but the reeves are growing out of my fingertips
         B   C#          Ab
I can't go back to the river

[PRE-CHORUS]
                Ebm               C#
But it's in my roots, it's in my veins
            C#           Ebm                    C#              Ab
It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain
             Ebm              C#
It's in my roots, it's in my veins
            C#           Ebm                   C#              Ab
It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain

[CHORUS]
                       Ebm            C#
So I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea
Ebm                                   C#               Ab
Yeah I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea

[VERSE]
B                                 C#
I should probably tell you now before it's way too late
       Ebm                         C#
That I never meant to hurt you or lie straight to your face
B                                     C#
Consider this my apology, I know it's years in advance
           Ebm                         C#
But I'd rather say it now in case I never get the chance
               B    C#         Ebm                         C#
No I can't go back, but the reeves are growing out of my fingertips
         B        C#      Ab
I can't go back to the river

[PRE-CHORUS]
                Ebm               C#
But it's in my roots, it's in my veins
            C#           Ebm                    C#              Ab
It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain
             Ebm              C#
It's in my roots, it's in my veins
            C#           Ebm                   C#              Ab
It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain

[CHORUS]
                       Ebm            C#
So I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea
Ebm                                   C#               Ab
Yeah I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea
                       Ebm            C#
So I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea
Ebm                                   C#               Ab
Yeah I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea
