Bathwater Baby

by, Max Stalling from the CD, "Comfort in the Curves" transcribed by, Tony Williams key of G# note: CD sounds like the guitar is capoed at the 1st fret and played with standard G chord forms. However, the chords transcribed here are actual. Intro: (play twice) C# G#/C Bm D#/G G# 1st verse: G# I saw you go down with your heart aflame I ran for water but grabbed G#7 kerosene Now, C# oh my goodness, despite my efforts What a G# blazing mess 2nd verse: G# I climbed in bed with my frozen feet You felt something and threw G#7 back the sheets So C# there I'm lying, so there your crying, how G# unfortunate But D#/G aw, through it C# all the truth was I loved you G# best chours: C# Now you're holding something better And now I'm holding old love letters and G# new regrets The C# irony is just so glaring Cause now I've got this torch to carry and it G# burns you bet D#/G But aw, through it C# all the truth was I G# loved you best Instrumental: same chords as intro only with a little Dobro mixed in. Repete chours: 3rd verse: C# Now toothpast and tube, it's just G#/C one of the views I Bm have about me and you G# lately {C#} It's cliche I know but seems G#/C apropos, if the Bm shoe fits well I figure G# say it C# I know it's a fact that I G#/C over reacted, Bm sometimes my passions G# betray me C# The changes I made as I G#/C tried to come clean; Bm you were my bath water G# baby Another Instrumental: this time with Dobro as lead instrument. 4th verse: C# Now I did all the squeezing And now I've got this real bad feeling that I G# made this mess C# I did all the plug pulling And now I'm high and dry, no fooling, it's my G# fault I guess But D#/G aw, through it C# all, the truth was I G# loved you best D#/G Aw, through it C# all the truth was D#/G Aw, don't you C# know the truth was D#/G Aw, don't you C# know I loved you G# best C# You were my Bm bath water G# baby.
