^Bm*I was born by the devil I was left here to die I was ^Em*held up for ransom On the ^F#*cold summer skies I was ^Bm*told not to love him I was told not to try I was ^Em*lonely the only Til he ^F#*said he'd be mine He will l^Bm*eave me for younger he will leave me to cry Cut the ^Em*knife a little deeper Count the ^F#m*days I've survived [break]

[Chorus] G[br] Yeah, it's written in the water

Yeah, it's ^Emeverywhere I go Telling ^Bmme that I should leave you A[br] Like I did two times before G[br] I'll be fine if I met you And you've ^Emstill have had to roam Give me ^Bmone kiss for the road boy A Bm* [go back to downstroking here] I guess it's time I let you go

[Verse 2]

^Bm*I will run to the river I will reach for the well Drown my ^Em*sorrows from someone In my ^F#*hope I leave this hell I can't ^Bm*live for forgiveness I can't live with the lie I won't b^Em*e what you wanted No I^F#* won't be what you like [break]
