Ani DiFranco – Allergic To Water (Guitar)

E7                 Bm
You can't even imagine

              Cmaj                 Gmaj
The tortuous state I've been existing in

E7                  Bm
I am allergic to water

              Cmaj                     Gmaj
It itches my throat and it blisters my skin

E7                   Bm
Still, I drink cuz I have to, I bathe

      Cmaj
cuz I have to

               Gmaj
But boy it's a pain

E7
But I don't cry

       Bm
Cuz it hurts to cry

       Cmaj                   Gmaj
And I don't go outside in the rain

E7                  Bm
And you may wonder what would possess

Cmaj                Gmaj
Someone like me to go on

E7                      Bm
You may wonder how it's possible

             Cmaj           Gmaj
Something so basic could go wrong

E7
And all I can say is

       Bm                        Cmaj
If you stretch your mind all the way as

          Gmaj
far as it goes

E7
There's someone out there who lives

Bm
further than that

      Cmaj               Gmaj
In a place you can never know

E7                               Bm
So right now if you're looking at me

        Cmaj                 Gmaj
You can assume that I am thirsty

E7                              Bm
And a good day is one when that ache in my brain

    Cmaj               Gmaj
Can remain at a doable three

E7                           Bm
And I don't really want your sympathy

         Cmaj                  Gmaj
I'm just telling you so you'll understand

E7              Bm
This is me, sincerely

Cmaj                  Gmaj
Doin' the best that I can
