G C G
[Verse 1]
G C G I hate this old place G C G And what it represents G C G And I hate who I was G C G And who I ended up since G Am D/F# G But if you learned how to swim in case you'd drowned
[Chorus]
G Am D/F# Don't ask her for the water G C G C Cause she'll swallow you down
[Verse 2]
G C G And she's ten miles of peace G C G And the hardest of nights G C G And her belfry's got arch G C G But her rooftops all right G Am D/F# But down here in the sewer G C G I'm smelling a rat
[Chorus]
G Am Bb Don't ask her for the Whiskey D/F# G C F6sus2 C G C Cause her waters all that
[Verse 3]
G C G And what horses we rode G C G Through what sombre fields G C G With our lovers at war G C G And the dust on their heels G C D And the infidels screamed, G C G "it's all but a lie"
[Chorus]
G Am D/F# Don't ask her for the water, G C G C Cause she'll teach you to cry G Am D/F# Don't ask her for the water G C G G C G G C F6sus2 C G C Cause she'll teach you to cry
[Verse 4]
G C G And her weapon of choice, G C G Is a red-patterned dress G C G And a sac full of stones G C G With her hands on her chest G C G And a book full of quotes G C G And a tight fastened lip
[Chorus]
G Am D/F# Don't ask her for the water G C G C Cause you'll sink like a ship G Am D/F# Don't ask her for the water G C G Cause you'll sink like a ship
[Outro]
