Throw Me In The River

The Smith Street Band


Tom: B

B
You're an angel I'm a mess but darling I've got nothing left
F#
The skin I wore when we first met surely has by now been shed
B
So I'll paper over what I lack, I'll fill in the pores and cracks
F#
I hope whatever you were running from didn't catch you when you thought that you were gone
B
And I crossed another border, further from home
F#
For the third time this week
B
I wish I had the intelligence or identification to buy a phone
F#
I'd give anything to hear you speak
F#
Say something sweet
B
Say something nice to me

[Chorus]
B                                  F#
Then throw me in the fucking river
E
I'll feed something if I drown
B                            F#
Throw me in the fucking river
E
I am already in the process of getting chewed up and spat out

[Verse 2]
B
Like when we held hands in the front seat of the car
F#
When we fucked in new year's park
B
Thought that I would feel whole, thought that I would feel free
F#
At least you thought I had a soul, at least you fucking noticed me
B
This morning I'll walk north on Main Street
F#
Towards the temples feel the sun's heat
B
And I'll know whatever happens my conscience will be clear
     F#
Even if I let these thoughts I have puff up in smoke and disappear
B
Say something sweet
F#
Say something nice to me

[Chorus]
B                                  F#
Then throw me in the fucking river
E
I'll feed something if I drown
B                            F#
Throw me in the fucking river
E
I am already in the process of getting chewed up and spat out
B                             F#
Throw me in the fucking river
E
I'll feed something if I drown
B                            F#
Throw me in the fucking river
E
I am already in the process of getting chewed up and spat out

[Outro]
C#
And I miss what we were so much right now
E
I fucking miss what we were so much right now
