====================================

[Intro]
Cm
[Verse]
I was Cmborn by the devil
I was left here to die
I was Fmheld up for ransom
Under Gmcold summer skies
[Verse]
I was Cmtold not to love him
I was told not to try
I was Fmlonely the only
'Till he Gmsaid he'd be mine
[Verse]
He will Cmleave me for younger
He will leave me to cry
Cut the Fmknife a little deeper
Count the Gmdays I survive
[Chorus]
Yeah, it's Abwritten in the water
Yeah, it's Fmeverywhere I go
Tellin' Cmme that I should leave you
Like I Bbdid two times before
I'd be Abfine if I meant to
And you'd Fmstill have had to roam
Give me Cmone kiss for the road boy
Now it's Bbtime I let you Cmgo
[Verse]
I will Cmrun to the river
I will reach for the well
Drown my Fmsorrows in someone
And I Gmhope I leave this hell
[Verse]
I can't Cmlive for forgiveness
I can't live with the lie
I won't Fmbe what you wanted
No I Gmwon't be what you'd like
[Chorus]
Yeah, it's Abwritten in the water
Yeah, it's Fmeverywhere I go
Tellin' Cmme that I should leave you
Like I Bbdid two times before
I'd be Abfine if I meant to
And you'd Fmstill have had to roam
Give me Cmone kiss for the road boy
Now it's Bbtime I let you Cmgo
[Interlude]
Cm
[Chorus]
Yeah, it's Abwritten in the water
Yeah, it's Fmeverywhere I go
Tellin' Cmme that I should leave you
Like I Bbdid two times before
I'd be Abfine if I meant to
And you'd Fmstill have had to roam
Give me Cmone kiss for the road boy
Now it's Bbtime I let (you go)
[Chorus]
Yeah, it's Abwritten in the water
Yeah, it's Fmeverywhere I go
Tellin' Cmme that I should leave you
Like I Bbdid two times before
I'd be Abfine if I meant to
And you'd Fmstill have had to roam
Give me Cmone kiss for the road boy
Now it's Bbtime I let you Cmgo
