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

       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

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

       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

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

       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

       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
