Well! [x4]
[VERSE]:
C7 Eb
We spun like birds on fire right down towards the residence and I
C7 Ab7 G7
I took all that I desired, even crooks have to pay the rent.
C7 Eb
We swam like rats on fire right, right down the reservoir

We took all that we could carry but we tried to carry more.

And you know you know you know it all went wrong.

[VERSE]
C7 Eb
We choked on straight tap water well I'm gonna have to try the real thing
C7 Ab7 G7
I took your laugh by the collar and it knew not to swing.
C7 Eb
Anytime I tried an honest job well the till had a hole and ha-ha
C7 Ab7 G7
We laughed about payin' rent 'cause the county jails they're free.

REPEAT THE CHORDS FOR THE REMAINING PARTS OF THE SONG
[VERSE]
Oh, lucky lucky lucky lucky me again.
I said it looks like I've got to use my feet again
Well I just spent my last one-hundred dollars
God I'll pay my bill again
Oh, I don't care
Oh, how I just don't care.
[CHORUS]
Deep Water, Deep Water
Senseless Denial
I went down like a rag doll shooken and shy
Deep Water, Deep Water
Senseless Denial
I went down like a rag doll rat of a child
[VERSE]
Well King rat has me on his list again
I can never be on the fence again
I found out it's all loud
Open like an organ and it
talk, talk, talk, talk again
he promised me that when I cheated him
But I could open my eye well...
lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky,
lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again.
[CHORUS]
Deep Water, Deep Water
This Senseless Denial
I got fed like a fish, full of open smiles
Blue Water, Deep Water
Oh Senseless Denial
I got fed like a fish on the cardboard smiles
[OUTRO] - FOR THE OUTRO, PLAY THE VERSE CHORD PROGRESSION
Well Well...
What do you have to say for yourself?
I said, well well
Well?
I said well, well, well, well!
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again.
I hardly knew I should use my feet again
What do you have to say for yourself?
What do you have to say for yourself?
