[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]
