E              A 
Shallow rivers run between us 
E                       A   
Where a stone may never sink 
E                 A 
Tough we taste, we are left thirsty 
      E               E 
For a deep and soulful drink 
 

 
E               A 
Narrow channels, barely open 
E                           A   
Fraught with dangers out of view 
E              A 
In the current, we are helpless 
E               E 
Still I cling to you 
 

 
A                      D   A 
Grab me woman, take me under 
A                         D  E 
Till I can't tell up from down 
A                      D    A 
We have barely got our feet wet 
A           E         A 
And I want, I want to drown

E              A 
Shallow rivers run between us 
E                   A   
Never mind the nevermore 
E            A 
Up ahead the water quickens; 
E                      E 
I can hear those rapids roar 
 

 
E              A 
Narrow channels, barely open 
E                           A  
Flood the waves with treachery 
E              A 
Hope I long to see the sunrise 
E            E 
On a peaceful sea 
 

 
A                      D   A 
Grab me woman, take me under 
A                         D  E 
Till I can't tell up from down 
A                      D    A 
We have barely got our feet wet 
A           E         A 
And I want, I want to drown
