[Verse 1]
Cm Ab G We spun like birds on fire right down towards the residence and I Cm Ab G Took all that I desired, even crooks have to pay the rent. Cm Ab G We swam like rats on fire right, right down the reservoir Cm Ab G We took all that we could carry but we tried to carry more.
[Pre-chorus]
Cm Ab G And you know, you know, you know it all went wrong Cm Ab G And you know, you know, you know it was all wrong

Cm Ab G We choked on straight tap water well I'm gonna have to try the real thing Cm Ab G I took your laugh by the collar and it knew not to swing. Cm Ab G Cm Anytime I tried an honest job well the till had a hole in it, ha-ha Cm Ab G We laughed about payin' rent 'cause the county jails they're free.
[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]
Cm Deep water, deep water Ab G Senseless denial Cm Ab G I went down like a rag doll heavy with child Cm Deep water, deep water Ab G Senseless denial Cm Ab G I went down like a rag doll heavy with child
[Verse]
Cm Oh, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again Ab G I said it looks like I've got to use my feet again Cm Well I just spent my last one hundred dollars Ab G God, I'll pay my bill again
[Bridge]
Cm Ab G Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho, I don't care Cm Ab G Oh, oh-ho-ho-ho-ho, I just don't care
[Chorus]
Cm Deep water, deep water Ab G Senseless denial Cm Ab G I went down like a rag doll, shooken and shy Cm Deep water, deep water Ab G Senseless denial Cm Ab G I went down like a rag doll: rat of a child
[Verse]
Cm Well, King Rat has me on his list again Ab G I can never be on the fence again Cm I found out it's all loud. Open like an organ and it Ab G Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk again Cm he promised me that when I cheated him Ab G That I could open my eye well... Cm lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, Ab G lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again.
[Chorus]
Cm Deep water, deep water Ab G This senseless denial Cm Ab G I got fed like a fish, full of open smiles Cm Blue water, deep water Ab G Oh senseless denial Cm Ab G I got fed like a fish by the cardboard smiles
[Outro]
Cm Ab G Well! Well.... Cm Ab G What do you have to say for yourself? Cm Ab G I said, well, well, well Cm Ab G I said well, well, well, well, well! Cm Ab G Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again Cm Ab G I hardly knew I should use my feet again Cm Ab G What do you have to say for yourself? Cm Ab G What do you have to say for yourself?
