What The Water Gave Me

Intro: [C#m] [E] [A] [G#m]

[E]Time it [A]took us [G#m]

[C#m]To where the [E]water was

[A]That's what the [G#m]water [C#m]gave me

[E]And time goes [A]quicker [G#m]

[C#m]Between the [E]two of us

[A]Oh, my [G#m]love, don't [C#m]forsake me

[E]Take what the water [F#m]gave me

 

Lay me [F#m]down [C#m]

Let the [E]only [B]sound

Be the [F#m]overflow [C#m]

Pockets [E]full of [B]stones

Lay me [F#m]down [C#m]

Let the [E]only [B]sound

Be the [F#m] [C#m] [E]ooooverflow [G#m]

 

[C#m]And [E]oh poor [A]Atlas [G#m]

The world's [C#m]a beast of a [E]burden

You've been [A]holding [G#m]on a [C#m]long time

And [E]all this [A]longing [G#m]

And the [C#m]ships are [E]left to rust

[A]That's what the [G#m]water [F#m]gave us

 

Lay me [F#m]down [C#m]

Let the [E]only [B]sound

Be the [F#m]overflow [C#m]

Pockets [E]full of [B]stones

Lay me [F#m]down [C#m]

Let the [E]only [B]sound

Be the [F#m] [C#m] [E]ooooverflow [G#m]

 

'Cause they took your [F#m]loved ones

But returned them in [C#m]exchange for you

But would you have it any [A]other way? [B]

Would you [F#m]have it any [A]other way?

You could [B]have had it any [F#m]other way

 

[C#m]'Cause she's a [E]crueller [A]mistress [G#m]

And the [C#m]bargain [E]must be made

But [A]oh, my love, [G#m]don't [C#m]forget me

But [E]I let the water [A]take me [G#m] [F#m]

 

Lay me [F#m]down [C#m]

Let the [E]only [B]sound

Be the [F#m]overflow [C#m]

Pockets [E]full of [B]stones

Lay me [F#m]down [C#m]

Let the [E]only [B]sound

Be the [F#m] [C#m] [A]ooooverflow [B]

 

Lay me [F#m]down [C#m]

Let the [E]only [B]sound

Be the [A]overflow [C#m]

Pockets [E]full of [B]stones

Lay me [F#m]down [C#m]

Let the [E]only [B]sound

Be the [A] [C#m] [E]ooooverflow [E]
