Verse 1:
Am                                         F
He'd been there all happy hour, spinning a two-year chip on the counter
  C                                            G
I picked the stool to his left and asked him, "What's that in your hand "
                  Am                             F
He said, "It's an all-night conversation 'bout a man too gone for saving
    C                                   G
Who traded in everything he loved for a buzz that didn't love him"
               Am                        F
He said, "Only light I saw was neon in a dive off of west end
      C
I was all out of hope at the end of my rope
  G
I knew it was sink or swim, I was

Chorus:
            Am
Dead in the water, drowning in bourbon
        F
I was a goner, that's when I heard Him
C                            G
Whisper to my soul at 2:00 a.m., I said, Amen
                 Am7
I poured out the bottle, found something stronger
              F
When I didn't wanna live any longer
  C                               G
I crawled down to that muddy riverside
            F
Dead in the water
    G             Am  F  C  G
And I walked out alive"


Verse 2:
            Am                               F
He said, "I come back here to remember who I was before that river
        C                                 G
Washed away the hell that held me down so long, oh
      Am                          F
Now I share my testimony with the whiskey bent and the lonely
    C
Who think that they don't have a prayer
G
Lord knows I've been there"


Chorus:
            Am
Dead in the water, drowning in bourbon
        F
I was a goner, that's when I heard Him
C                            G
Whisper to my soul at 2:00 a.m., I said, Amen
                 Am7
I poured out the bottle, found something stronger
              F
When I didn't wanna live any longer
  C                               G
I crawled down to that muddy riverside
            F
Dead in the water
    G             Am  F  C
And I walked out alive"
G             Am  F  C  G
I walked out alive


Bridge:
F
There's a way to leave behind
C
Everywhere you've ever been
Am
There's a well that won't run dry
       G
You'll never thirst again


Out-Chorus:
            Am
Come to the water, bring all your hurting
            F
Come as you are and lay down your burdens
     C                             G
Just call on Jesus' name at 2:00 a.m., and say "Amen"
             Am7
Pour out the bottle, there's something stronger
              F
Don't have to live this way any longer
     C                             G
Just crawl down to that muddy riverside
            F
Dead in the water
    G                Am  F  C
And you'll walk out alive
G                Am  F  C
You'll walk out alive
     G
Hallelujah
