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
