[Verse 1]
Dadd11
Don't know what I'm gonna do,
Dadd11
Everything is broken in two,
Gadd9 Dadd11
I miss my wife, ...son and daughter,
A7(no3) Dadd11
I can see you now in the muddy water!
[Verse 2]
Dadd11
Never under estimate...
Dadd11
...Those of us who dream and wait,
Gadd9 Dadd11
I don't wanna go, but I think I outta,
A7(no3) Dadd11
You can get lost in the muddy water!
[Verse 3]
Bm7
Who said anything about love?
Aadd4
We're animals, after all,
Gadd9 D/F#
And everything we feel can be ex - plained,
Bm7
Who said anything about time?
Aadd4
It's not yours, and it's not mine,
Gadd9 D/F#
Just different ways of getting through the days!
[Bridge]
Dadd11
Did not do what I should,
Dadd11
I nearly lost it good,
Gadd9 Dadd11
But the C.C.T.V. camera ...never caught her,
A7(no3) Dadd11
All that time in the muddy water! Hey, now!
