[Ebm]
[Eb] [D]
You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack.
You may find yourself in another part of the world.
You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile.
You may find yourself in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife.
You may ask yourself, well, how did I get here?
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down.
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground.
Into the pool again, after the money's gone.
Once in a lifetime, [G] water flowing [D] underground.
You may ask yourself, how do I work this?
You may ask yourself, where is that golf club I'm in?
You may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful house.
You may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful wife.
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down.
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground.
Into the pool again, after the money's gone.
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground.
Same as it ever was.
Yeah, as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Yeah, as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Water's a summer.
Water for me.
There is water.
At the bottom of the ocean.
Remove the water.
Carry the water.
Remove the water.
At the bottom of the ocean.
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down.
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground.
Into the pool again, after the money's gone.
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground.
Into the pool again, into the silent waters.
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground.
Letting the days go by, into the silent waters.
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground.
You may ask yourself, what is that beautiful house?
You may ask yourself, where does that highway lead to?
You may ask yourself, am I right?
Am I wrong?
You may say to yourself, my God, what have I done?
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down.
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground.
Into the pool again, after the money's gone.
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground.
Into the pool again, into the silent waters.
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground.
Letting the days go by, into the silent waters.
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Same [E] as it ever [D] was.
