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
