The water is over my head (1966) (video)

G - C - G - C

G C G - C

1. Well, I walked to the river just to ease my troubled mi….nd,

G C G

and I thought about leavin' this cardboard world behind.

Bm Em C Am

My paperdoll princess has just blown out on the door,

Am D

leavin' nothing more than me.

C G F C

And now the water is over my head,

C G F C

and I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead.

G Bm C G

And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack,

C Bm Am - D G

but I'm in too deep and there ain't no turnin' back,

C G C

no, no, no, turnin' back, no, no, no.

G C G - C

2. Ah, the breeze in the trees just whisperin' Louise toda…..y,

G C G

and you can take back your rib ‘cause I'm really not made of clay.

Bm Em C Am

My ice-cream dreams have just melted in the night,

Am D

I'm not standing here to fight the tide.

+ CHORUS

G C G - C

3. Well, everybody's tellin' me that this is wrong and that ain't ri…ght,

G C G

but that can't be because I saw the sunshine last night.

Bm Em C Am

My crystal ball is blazin' but there's nothing there to see,

Am D

oh, there's nothing left of me to see !

C G F C

And now the water is over my head,

C G F C

and I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead.

G Bm C G

And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack,

C Bm Am - D G

but I'm in too deep and there ain't no turnin' back,

C G C

no, no, no, turnin' back, no, no, no.

G C

+ Turnin’ back, no, no, no ! (3x) ….
