Intro: C#5/G F#5 x4
C#5/G# F#5
And you may find yourself, living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself, in another part of the world
And you may find yourself, behind the wheel of a large
Automobile and you may find yourself, in a beautiful house
with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, well how did I get here
Chorus:
C#/G# F#
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

C#5/G# F#5
And you may ask yourself, how do I work this
And you may ask yourself, where is that large automobile
And you may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful house
And you may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful wife
Chorus
C#5/G# F#5
Same as it ever was, Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, Same as it ever was
Chorus
C#5/G# F#5
And you may ask yourself, what is that beautiful house
And you may ask yourself, where does that highway go to
And you may ask yourself, am I right, am I wrong
And you may tell yourself, my god, what have I done
Chorus:
C#/G# F#
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, water flowing underground
Chorus
C#5/G# F#5
Same as it ever was, Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, Same as it ever was
