Verse 1:
Bm                     G
  She was just 5 years old
                 D
A slightly moody day
                   A
She couldn't stay away
                          Bm
from that rivers edge and I
                  G
I turn my back to count
All the daffodil
             D
seas that surrounded
I close my eyes and
     A
then heard the water wake up


Chorus:
    G
And I, I can still
           A
hear that scream
                Bm
It's still lingering
in the air everywhere
                     A
"Mother, please save me
grab my hand"
           G
(I can't I can't)
                     A
I can still see that face
                 Bm
sink beneath the waves
Baby please breath for me
                  A
give me time I am here
Where did you go?
G               A
  Where did you go?
              G
Where did you go?
                  A
Hey where did you go?


Verse 2:
D
  Were the angels that lonely?
Bm
  Couldn't they suffice
            G
for anybody else?
Can't everybody
just lie to me
      A
She's home she's home
              D
Crying for me now
Every night on a Monday
Bm
  I will visit the
                 G
same spot that I hate
Yes the place that baby loved
    A
and now she can taste
                   D  Bm
it oh it took her away


Verse 3:
                           G
It's been five years since then
                    D
And when it hits September
                          A
I'll feel like I'm dying again
Ian still won't even
talk to me talk to me
Bm                       G
  Isn't this pain guilt enough
                          D
I can't even look out the window
without seeing reflections
   A
distorted in the sun


(Repeat chorus and Verse 2 except last line)


                   D
it oh it took her away


Verse 4:
Bm
  And the pain hits me like gunshot
G
  And I'm heading on the way to the
D
floor I hear her name and it kills
  A
me Oh Bottles up Bottles up
        Bm
Bottles up


Verse 5:
And I'm trying my
             G
best to hurt me
                     D
Ian says it's never enough
A razor to the wrist for
            A
each unshed tear cough it up
                     Bm  G  A
drink it up drink it up


(Repeat Verse 2 except last line)

                   D

Bm               G
  So I had a coma when I
                      D
crashed my car in the lake
I saw your face down there
  A                    Bm
I knew it was not a mistake
So I went to the doctor
G
  I told him oh my heart will
D
break If I couldn't see you
   A
He just gave me more pills


Verse 7:
Bm
  But I saw you up there
G
  Still floating by the river
D
  God you always loved that river
  A
I bet your heaven looks just like it


Verse 8:
Bm                  G
  Then I'll like it too even
                    D
though it scares me now
                  A
But when I'm with you

  I'll be just fine
             D
I'll be just fine

it rocks me gently
silent silent

If I never surface

Hold my breath
It's silent silent

He strokes her hair
both sitting on sand
        C
and her shoulders bare
