The Water Is Over My Head

Intro: G   C   G   C

         G                           C                 G - C
 Well, I walked to the river just to ease my troublin' mi.......nd,
          G                            C               G
    and I thought about leavin' this cardboard world behind.
       Bm        Em                C
    My paperdoll princess has just blown out on the door,
    A                         D
    leavin' nothing more than me.


    C       G        F       C
And now the water is over my head,
      C       G               F        C
and I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead.
        C           Bm                Am       G
And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack,
        C      Bm             Am   - D                  G
but I'm in too deep and there ain't          no turnin' back,
        C           G             C
no, no, no, turnin' back, no, no, no.

         G                        C                   G - C
 Ah, the breeze in the trees is a-whisperin' Louise toda.......y,
                G                             C                  G
    and you can take back your rib 'cause I'm really not made of clay.
        Bm        Em               C
     My ice cream dreams have just melted in the night,
            A                          D
    I'm not standing here to fight the tide.

       G                           C                            G - C
 Well, everybody's tellin' me that this is wrong and that ain't ri........ght,
        G                       C                      G
    but that can't be because I saw the sun shine last night.
       Bm              Em                  C
    My crystal ball is blazin' but there's nothing there to see,
                A                     D
    oh, there's nothing left of me to see.
