[D]
[E] See this ancient [G]
riverbed, [D] see where all my [C] fallings will lay
[E] Down by the water, [D] down by the old [E] main bed
[Em]
I was just [G] some toehead teen, [D] feelin' round for fingers to [C] get in between
[Em] Down by the water, [D] down by the old [E] main bed
The [Bm]
[Em] season [D]
wraps me [Em] round, [E] the summer [D]
swells [C] anon
So knock [E] me down, tear [G] me up, but I [D] would bear it all
Broken [C] to the pill mark of, [Em] down by the water, [D] down by the old [E] main bed

The season [D]
wraps [Em] me round, the summer [D]
swells [C] anon

Broken [C] just to fill my cup, [Em] down by the water, [D] down by the old [Em] main bed
