Written In The Water Chords

Capo: 3rd fret (Cm)

[Intro]
Am
 
 
[Verse]
      Am
I was born by the devil
 
I was left here to die
      Dm
I was held up for ransom 
      Em
Under cold summer skies
 
 
[Verse]
      Am
I was told not to love him
 
I was told not to try
      Dm
I was lonely the only 
         Em
'Till he said he'd be mine
 
 
[Verse]
        Am
He will leave me for younger
 
He will leave me to cry
        Dm
Cut the knife a little deeper
          Em
Count the days I survive
 
 
[Chorus]
           F
Yeah, it's written in the water
           Dm
Yeah, it's everywhere I go
        Am
Tellin' me that I should leave you 
       G
Like I did two times before
       F
I'd be fine if I meant to
          Dm
And you'd still have had to roam
        Am
Give me one kiss for the road boy
         G             Am
Now it's time I let you go
 
 
[Verse]
       Am
I will run to the river
 
I will reach for the well
         Dm
Drown my sorrows in someone
      Em
And I hope I leave this hell
 
 
[Verse]
        Am
I can't live for forgiveness
 
I can't live with the lie
        Dm
I won't be what you wanted
     Em
No I won't be what you'd like
 
 
[Chorus]
           F
Yeah, it's written in the water
           Dm
Yeah, it's everywhere I go
        Am
Tellin' me that I should leave you 
       G
Like I did two times before
       F
I'd be fine if I meant to
          Dm
And you'd still have had to roam
        Am
Give me one kiss for the road boy
         G             Am
Now it's time I let you go
 
 
[Interlude]
Am
 
 
[Chorus]
           F
Yeah, it's written in the water
           Dm
Yeah, it's everywhere I go
        Am
Tellin' me that I should leave you 
       G
Like I did two times before
       F
I'd be fine if I meant to
          Dm
And you'd still have had to roam
        Am
Give me one kiss for the road boy
         G
Now it's time I let (you go)
 
 
[Chorus]
           F
Yeah, it's written in the water
           Dm
Yeah, it's everywhere I go
        Am
Tellin' me that I should leave you 
       G
Like I did two times before
       F
I'd be fine if I meant to
          Dm
And you'd still have had to roam
        Am
Give me one kiss for the road boy
         G             Am
Now it's time I let you go
