A (4 beats) (2 beats) Em (2 beats) Time it took us To where the water was, That's what the water gave me And time goes quicker Between the two of us, Oh my love, don't forsake me Take what the water gave me Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow 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 ships are left to rust, That's what the water gave us 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 = 330010 But would you have it any other way? Would you have it any other way? You could have it any other way 'Cause she's a cruel mistress and her temper cannot be tamed, but oh my love don't forsake me Take what the water gave me 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... Yea yea yea yea yea
