Florence And The Machine - What The Water Gave Me

florence and the machine – what the water gave me

Cm Gm
time it took us
A# F
to where the water was
Cm Gm
thats what the water gave me
Cm Gm
and time goes quicker
A# F
between the two of us
Cm Gm
oh , my love , dont forsake me
A# F
take what the water gave me

Cm Gm
lay me down
A# F
let the only sound
Cm Gm
be the overflow
A# F
pockets full of stones

lay me down
let the only sound
be the overflow

and oh poor atlas
the worlds a beast of a burden
youve been holding on a long time
and all this longing
and the shields are left to rust
thats what the water gave us

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

cause they took your loved ones
but returned them in exchange for you
but would you have it any other way?
would you have it any other way?
you could have had it any other way
cause shes a crueller mistress
and the bargain must be made
but oh , my love , dont forget me
but i let the water take me

lay me down
let the only sound
be the over flow
pockets full of stones

lay me down
let the only sound
be the overflow

lay me down
let the only sound
be the overflow
pockets full of stones

lay me down
let the only sound
be the overflow
