Capo on the First Fret.
Verse
[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
Chorus
[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
Verse
[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
Chorus
[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
Bridge
[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
Chorus
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
