       Em7          Bm
I went down to the water
       Em7           Bm
Like a lamb to the slaughter
       Em7           Bm               Em7  Bm
Didn't know what was waiting for me there
Em7    Bm         Em7     Bm
Nobody warned me, nobody told me
      Em7      Bm         Em7
My excuse is I wasn't prepared
 
Bm         Am
   I drank deep from the river and sealed up my fate
              Bm                     C                D
I should have seen the trap, baby, before it was too late
 
      Em7  Bm
We go down
      Cmaj7  Bm7
We go down
      Cmaj7          C        Em7  Bm

Em7         Bm
Who is this fool
      Em7              Bm
Who believed all the stories?
  Em7           Bm           Em7  Bm
I wish I could say it's not me
      Em7       Bm            Em7              Bm
You polluted my head with the things that you said
    Em7           Bm         Em7
I became what you wanted to see
 
Bm  Am
    All of these years I've built up this hate
Bm                            C             D
   I had my chance coming but now it's too late
