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
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the over flow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
