  			C                              G7         C 
In tomorrow's newspaper you'll read about me  

                                G7 
But they won't tell the story I know  

    C                   F 
For they'll only say he plunged yesterday  

       C         G7     C  
To the cold dark waters below 
  

  F                        C  
I guess it all started the day we first met 

                                G7 
You promised that you'd love me so  

    C                        F 
And I never thought it would end in regret 
  
       C         G7     C 
In the cold dark waters below  
  

                             G7           C   
In a moment I'll ride on the drift of the tide  

                                 G7 
And I hope your conscience hurts so  

        C                             F 
All the tears that I've cried will be easy to hide 
  
       C         G7     C    
In the cold dark waters below  


    F                      C 
Now I hear them running to try and stop me  

                                  G7 
They're shouting oh don't let him go  

    C                          F 
But it's far too late and I'll soon meet my fate  

       C         G7     C  
In the cold dark waters below 
  

F      C         G7     C  
In the cold dark waters below
