[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.
