E D2 C# D2 B D2 A D2
-Verse 1-
Water water everywhere
And I complain about my thirst
The prescriptions in my hand
While the pain I curse
-Chorus-
I know the longer
I know the harder
The walk will be
With my callused feet
And my too tender knees
I stumbled upon the truth
And wished it'd get out of my way
When I've seen the light
I pulled down the shade
I know the longer
I know the harder
The walk will be
With my callused feet
And my too tender knees
-Guitar Solo-
-Bridge-
C#m A C#m A
If I were as Smart as Christopher, I'd find a closet
C#m A F# D2 D
If I were as week as Samson was, I'd make a prophet
-Chorus-
