Dave Cousins - You Never Needed Water
[Intro]
(Fast Picking)
[Verse 1]
D A G D
You said you were a virgin when I took you in the park
G D/F# Em Dm
You didn't need a light to help you make it in the dark
G D/F# Em A7
You took the highest bidder who could satisfy your needs
D A G Dm
You wrapped yourself around him and I squeezed him till he bleeds
G D/F# Em A7
You never needed wings until I taught you how to fly
D7 A G D G D G
You never needed water till your well ran dry
[Verse 2]
D A G D
You always set your target on the highest social scene
G D/F# Em Dm
You never gave your number till you knew where he had been
G D/F# Em A7
You used to shop at Harrods and you wore the smartest clothes
D A G Dm
But you wore them inside out so that the maker's label showed
G D/F# Em A7
You never needed money till I taught you what to buy
D7 A G D G D G
You never needed water till your well ran dry
[Verse 3]
D A G D
You're just about as subtle as a razor with your teeth
G D/F# Em Dm
And you got your greatest pleasure with your lover underneath
G D/F# Em A7
You sparkled like a diamond with a smile that you could trust
D A G Dm
You would find yourself a sucker and you'd grind him into dust
G D/F# Em A7
You never started smoking until I taught you to get high
D7 A G D G D G D
You never needed water till your well ran dry
[Instrumental]
(Fast Picking)
[Verse 4]
D A G D
You got water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink
G D/F# Em Dm
Take a look into the mirror, babe, it's later than you think
G D/F# Em A7
You're the ultimate expression of Picasso's favourite brush
D A G Dm
You're the wall in his apartment that he painted in a rush
G D/F# Em A7
You never shed a tear until I taught you how to cry
D7 A G D
You never needed water till your well ran dry
