      Cm
I was born by the devil
I was left here to die
      Fm
I was held up for ransom
       G
Under cold summer skies
      Cm
I was told not to love him
I was told not to try
       Fm
I was lonely the only
          G
'Till he said he'd be mine
        Cm
He will leave me for younger
He will leave me to cry
         Fm
Cut the knife a little deeper
           G
Count the days I survive

Chorus:
            G#
Yeah, it's written in the water
           Fm
Yeah, it's everywhere I go
        Cm
Tellin' me that I should leave you
        A#
Like I did two times before
       G#
I'd be fine if I meant to
           Fm
And you'd still have had to roam
        Cm
Give me one kiss for the road boy
          A#            Cm
Now it's time I let you go

I will run to the river
I will reach for the well
Drown my sorrows from someone
In my hope I leave this hell
I can't live for forgiveness
I can't live with the lie
I won't be what you wanted
No I won't be what you like

Chorus

Yeah, it's written in the water
Yeah, it's everywhere I go
Telling me that I should leave you
Like I did two times before
I'll be fine if I met you
When you still have had your own
Give me one kiss for the road boy
I guess its time I let

Yeah, it's written in the water
Yeah, it's everywhere I go
Telling me that I should leave you
Like I did two times before
I'll be fine if I met you
When you still have had your own
Give me one kiss for the road boy
I guess it's time I let you alone
