Florence + the Machine - What The Water Gave Me: chords

D#       G#
Time it took us
    Cm        D#
To where the water was
 G#                   Gm    Cm
That’s what the water gave me
    D#           G#
And time goes quicker
   Cm        D#
Between the two of us
    G#        Gm      Cm
Oh, my love, don’t forsake me
 D#                  Fm
Take what the water gave me

Chorus:
        Fm  Cm
Lay me down
        D#   A#
Let the only sound
       F   Cm
Be the overflow
         D#      A#
Pockets full of stones
        Fm  Cm
Lay me down
        D#    A#
Let the only sound
        F Cm D# Gm
Be the overflow

And oh, poor Atlas
The world's a beast of a burden
You’ve been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the ships are left to rust
That's what the water gave us

Chorus:
So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

'Cause they took your loved ones
But returned them in exchange for you
But would you have it any other way?
Would you have it any other way?
You couldn't have it any other way

'Cause she's a cruel mistress
And a bargain must be made
But oh, my love, don't forget me
When I let the water take me

Chorus:
So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
