Just A Wave

C
Thirst is not the answer, oceans 
come and go
F
I loved her seven seas worth, Lord I
 loved her so
C                             G
But she let me down so easy, one 
slow drop at a time
C
I would've killed myself but it made
 no sense
F
Committing suicide in self defense
C                     F
But I lost everything I brought her
               G                 
When she said babe, you're just a 
                       C
wave, you're not the water
C
Centuries ago we were living on the 
Gold Coast
F
She was still in love with a long, 
gone, cold ghost
C                                 
I was only trying to turn back the
             G
 tide of her tears
Continues after the ad
                C
I felt like an endless ocean, 
rolling through the fog
F
Full emotion drifting like a weather
 beaten log
       C                  F
I even thought that I out-thought 
her
               G                 
Till she said babe, you're just a 
                       C
wave, you're not the water
C
I said someday we'll love again, 
then you'll know the score
F
I've taught you everything I know 
and maybe even more
        C                          
That's true she said, more than you
       G
 ever will
C
I've said I've been your raging 
river, precious African queen
F
I've shown you everything that I've 
ever seen
         C                    F
But she knew more than I had taught 
her
              G                  
When she said babe, you're just a 
                       C
wave, you're not the water
     C
Well I followed her far and wide 
with all of my will
F
Water on the move, you know it never
 stands still
      C                          
And I moved every muscle, just to 
                  G
prove it can be done
     C
Then up some old sad river, where 
snow white lilies float
F
I came to her for mercy, but I 
hardly rocked the boat
C                                
She seemed surprised that I have 
F
caught her
              G                 
But she said babe, you're just a 
                        C
wave, you're not the water
          G                        
She said babe, you're just a wave, 
                C
you're not the water
