[Intro]
Em G D A

[Verse 1]
     Em                    G
You are, brittle like the wind
          D                       A
But I can, see right through your skin.
             Em                 G
Well you've got such beautiful bones
       D                             A
And I love you like a river loves a stone.
   Em                G
I am, fickle as I'm thin
            D                      A
I shut you out, but you still got in.
         Em                               G
My worst intentions have all been overthrown
           D                             A
And now I love you like a river loves a stone.


[Chorus]
           Em                             G
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
    D                             A
I love you like a river loves a stone.
           Em                             G
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
    D                             A
I love you like a river loves a stone.


[Verse 2]
     Em                      G
You are, brittle but you'll bend
        D                        A
And I may, break you but you'll mend.
          Em                        G
Well you paint me with such subtle tones
       D                             A
And I love you like a river loves a stone.
     Em                          G
We are, brilliant though we're flawed
       D                         A
I wish you'd be a little self-assured.
           Em                               G
Your best intentions, have all been overthrown
            D                             A
And now I love you like a river loves a stone.


[Chorus]
           Em                             G
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
    D                             A
I love you like a river loves a stone.
           Em                             G
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
    D                             A
I love you like a river loves a stone.

[Interlude]
Em G D A


[Bridge]
              Em                        G
Well I could sit and stare at you for hours
         D                    A
Like a bouquet of funeral flowers
          Em                G
But every leaf is painted black
           D                   A
And every petal is as pale as wax.


[Chorus]
           Em                             G
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
    D                             A
I love you like a river loves a stone.
           Em                             G
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
    D                             A
I love you like a river loves a stone.
