What good does it do to hold onto  
     F                 C 
The anger deep in your heart 
                                   C7 
You're the only one that it's hurting 
           F                      G7 
You're the one that it's tearing apart 
    C                                   C7 
I'm sorry that he broke your heart, girl  
     F              C 
It's time to let it go 
C                    F 
Sometimes love is a river of tears 
G7                      C 
So pick up the oars and row 
 
 
He shattered your expectations 
He broke all his promises too 
With his little white lies he looked in your eyes 
And made you believe they were true 
Ahh but this ain't the final curtain 
Girl it's time to get on with the show 
Sometimes love is a river of tears 
So pick up the oars and row

It's been far too long now since I've seen you smile 
G                                          F                     C 
Bitterness don't look good on you and self-pity just ain't your style 
F                                       G                     C 
Sooner or later you know you've got to play the cards you've drawn 
G                                F                     C 
It's all up to you, you can stay blue, or you can move on 
 
 
Ain't it hard when you discover 
Things aint' what you thought they would be 
When all of your best laids plains 
Hit the wall of reality 
Still all and all it's a pretty good life 
But it sure can be painful I know 
Sometimes love is a river of tears 
So pick up the oars and row 
 
 
Sometimes love is a river of tears 
So pick up the oars and row
