Tom: Eb
Em Bm
Time it took us
D A
To where the water was
Em Bm
That’s what the water gave me
Em Bm
And time goes quicker
D A
Between the two of us
Em Bm
Oh, my love, don’t forsake me
D A
Take what the water gave me
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
Em Bm
Be the overflow
D A
Pockets full of stones
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
Em Bm D A
Be the overflow
Em Bm
And oh poor Atlas
D A
The world’s a beast of a burden
Em Bm
You’ve been holding on a long time
Em Bm
And all this longing
D A
And the shields are left to rust
Em D A
That’s what the water gave us
Em Bm
So Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
Em Bm
Be the overflow
D A
Pockets full of stones
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
Em Bm D A
Be the overflow
Em Bm
'Cause they took your loved ones
D A
But returned them in exchange for you
Em Bm
But would you have it any other way?
Em Bm
Would you have it any other way?
D A
You could have had it any other way
Em Bm
'Cause she’s a crueller mistress
D A
And the bargain must be made
Em Bm
But oh, my love, don’t forget me
D A
But I let the water take me
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
Em Bm
Be the overflow
D A
Pockets full of stones
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
Em Bm D A
Be the overflow
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
Em Bm
Be the overflow
D A
Pockets full of stones
Em Bm
Lay me down
D A
Let the only sound
Em Bm D A
Be the overflow
