  			           Amadd9  
More in my face Than is my taste 
          F 
I grow so weary I'll surrender 
             Amadd9 
To what they say Let them lead the way 
        F 
Till' I can no longer remember 
    Amadd9 
My darling dreams Prewritten scenes 
     F 
Whatever felt my own 
           Amadd9 
So to save face I'll take my place 
            F  
Where I may safely feel alone 

 
Cm          Eb         Bb   
Glad the waters are so shallow 
         Ab 
When the river runs so cold 
Cm          Eb         Bb   
Glad the waters are so shallow 
         Ab 
When the river runs so cold 
Cm          Eb         Bb   
Glad the waters are so shallow 
         Ab 
When the river runs so cold 
Cm          Eb         Bb   
Glad the waters are so shallow 
         Ab 
When the river runs so cold 


 

             Amadd9 
I'm quick to wait Too slow to take 
             F            
They call me gracious for my patience 
           Amadd  
And I feel proud Under that shroud 
            F 
And all the while it's all evasion 
     Amadd9 
Some humor here To fend off fear 
F    
And I'm a little more lost, oh dear 
           Amadd9  
So to save face I'll hold my place 
         F  
So I may safely feel alone 

 

Cm          Eb         Bb   
Glad the waters are so shallow 
         Ab 
When the river runs so cold 
Cm          Eb         Bb   
Glad the waters are so shallow 
         Ab 
When the river runs so cold 
Cm          Eb         Bb   
Glad the waters are so shallow 
         Ab 
When the river runs so cold 
Cm          Eb         Bb   
Glad the waters are so shallow 
         Ab 
When the river runs so cold 


Ah, ah ,ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah 

Cm          Eb         Bb   
Glad the waters are so shallow 
         Ab 
When the river runs so cold 
Cm          Eb         Bb   
Glad the waters are so shallow 
         Ab 
When the river runs so cold 
Cm          Eb         Bb   
Glad the waters are so shallow 
         Ab 
When the river runs so cold 
Cm          Eb         Bb   
Glad the waters are so shallow 
         Ab 
When the river runs so cold
