Dead In The Water

Intro:
C#m
Verse:
                         C#m  
He'd been there all happy hour, 
                       A
spinning a two-year chip on the counter
        E   
I picked the stool to his left 
                                  H
and asked him, "What's that in your hand?"
                             C#m  
He said, "It's an all-night conversation 
                    A
'bout a man too gone for saving
                E  
Who traded in everything he loved 
               H
for a buzz that didn't love him"
                            C#m 
He said, "Only light I saw was neon
              A
 in a dive off of west end
                  E
I was all out of hope at the end of my rope
           H
I knew it was sink or swim, I was
 
Chorus:
                          C#m
Dead in the water, drowning in bourbon
                   A
I was a goner, that's when I heard Him
        E                                      H
Whisper to my soul at 2:00 a.m., I said, Amen
                                 C#m7
I poured out the bottle, 

found something stronger
                              A
When I didn't wanna live any longer
         E                                                  H
I crawled down to that muddy riverside
                          A
Dead in the water
             H                  C#m  A   E   H
And I walked out alive"
 
Verse 2:
                         C#m  
He said, "I come back here to remember 
                 A
who I was before that river
                     E    
Washed away the hell that held me down
            H
 so long, oh
                  C#m
Now I share my testimony 
                      A
with the whiskey bent and the lonely
                E
Who think that they don't have a prayer
      H
Lord knows I've been there"
 
Chorus:
                          C#m
Dead in the water, drowning in bourbon
                   A
I was a goner, that's when I heard Him
        E                                      H
Whisper to my soul at 2:00 a.m., I said, Amen
                                 C#m7
I poured out the bottle, 

found something stronger
                              A
When I didn't wanna live any longer
         E                                                  H
I crawled down to that muddy riverside
                          A
Dead in the water
          H                      C#m A  E
And I walked out alive"

Tag:
   H                   C#m   A    E    H
I walked out alive
 
Bridge:
A
There's a way to leave behind
E
Everywhere you've ever been
    C#m
There's a well that won't run dry
           H                              H
You'll never thirst again
 
Final Chorus:
                          C#m
Dead in the water, drowning in bourbon
                   A
I was a goner, that's when I heard Him
        E                                      H
Whisper to my soul at 2:00 a.m., I said, Amen
                                 C#m7
I poured out the bottle, 

found something stronger
                              A
When I didn't wanna live any longer
         E                                                  H
I crawled down to that muddy riverside
                          A
Dead in the water
            H                     C#m  A   E
And you'll walk out alive
     H                      C#m  A    E
You'll walk out alive
              H
Hallelujah
