Difficulty: novice

 Cm        Gm
Time it took us
 Bb                  F
 To where the water was
 Cm                     Gm
 That?s what the water gave me
 Cm                Gm
 And time goes quicker
   Bb           F
 Between the two of us
 Cm                  Gm
 Oh, my love, don?t forsake me
 Bb                   F
 Take what the water gave me

         Cm  Gm
Lay me down
          Bb     F
 Let the only sound
         Cm    Gm
 Be the overflow
          Bb      F
 Pockets full of stones

Lay me down
 Let the only sound
 Be the overflow

And oh poor Atlas
 The world?s a beast of a burden
 You?ve been holding on a long time
 And all this longing
 And the shields are left to rust
 That?s what the water gave us


So lay me down
 Let the only sound
 Be the overflow
 Pockets full of stones
 Lay me down
 Let the only sound
 Be the overflow

?Cause they took your loved ones
 But returned them in exchange for you
 But would you have it any other way?
 Would you have it any other way?
 You could have had it any other way
 ?Cause she?s a crueller mistress
 And the bargain must be made
 But oh, my love, don?t forget me
 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
