Eb
I was born by the devil
I was left here to die
Fm
I was held up for ransom under cold summer skies
Eb
I was told not to love him
I was told not to try
Fm
I was lonely the only 'till he said he'd be mine
Eb
He will leave me for younger
He will leave me to cry
Fm
Cut the knife a little deeper
Count the days I survive

Cm
Yeah, it's written in the water
Yeah, it's everywhere I go
Fm
Tellin' me that I should leave you like I did two times before
Cm
I'd be fine if I met you
And you'd still have had to roam
Fm
Give me one kiss for the road
Gm                     Cm
Now it's time I let you go

Eb
I will run to the river
I will reach for the well
Fm
Drown my sorrows in someone
And I hope I leave this hell
Eb
I can't live for forgiveness
I can't live with the lie
Fm
I won't be what you wanted
No I won't be what you'd like

Cm
[[Yeah, it's written in the water
Yeah, it's everywhere I go
Fm
Tellin' me that I should leave you like I did two times before
Cm
I'd be fine if I met you
And you'd still have had to roam
Fm
Give me one kiss for the road,
Gm                   Cm
Now it's time I let you go]]

Cm
Yeah, it's written in the water
Yeah, it's everywhere I go
Fm
Tellin' me that I should leave you like I did two times before
Cm
I define if I meant to
When you still have had your own
Fm
Give me one kiss for the road boy
Gm                    Cm
Now it's time I let you go
