[Intro]
Cm7
Well! Well! Well! Well!

[Verse]
Cm7                                
  We spun like birds on fire right 
Eb
down towards the residence and I
  Cm7                          
I took all that I desired, even 
  Ab7                         G7
crooks have to pay the rent.
Cm7                               
  We swam like rats on fire right, 
Eb
right down the reservoir
Cm7                               
  We took all that we could carry 
        Ab7            G7
but we tried to carry more.

[Bridge]
        Cm7                      
And you know you know you know it 
           Ab7   G7
all went wrong.
        Cm7                      
And you know you know you know it 
           Ab7   G7
was all wrong.

[Verse]
Cm7                               
  We choked on straight tap water 
           Eb
well I'm gonna have to try the real 
thing
  Cm7                              
I took your laugh by the collar and
  Ab7             G7
 it knew not to swing.
Cm7                               
  Anytime I tried an honest job 
        Eb
well the till had a hole and ha-ha
    Cm7                            
We laughed about payin' rent 'cause
       Ab7                 G7
 the county jails they're free.

[Bridge]
        Cm7                      
And you know you know you know it 
           Ab7   G7
all went wrong.
        Cm7                      
And you know you know you know it 
           Ab7   G7
was all wrong.

[Chorus]
Cm7
Deep Water, Deep Water
Ab7         G7
Senseless Denial
       Cm7                   Ab7  
I went down like a rag doll as you
         G7
 would, child
Continues after the ad
Cm7
Deep Water, Deep Water
Ab7         G7
Senseless Denial
       Cm7                   Ab7  
I went down like a rag doll as you
         G7
 would, child

[Verse]
    Cm7
Oh, lucky lucky lucky lucky me 
again.
          Ab7                    
I said it looks like I've got to use
G7
 my feet again
     Cm7
Well I just spent my last 
one-hundred dollars
 Ab7                 G7
God I'll pay my bill again
Cm7             Ab7 G7
Oh, I don't care
Cm7                 Ab7 G7
Oh, how I just don't care.

[Chorus]
Cm7
Deep Water, Deep Water
Ab7           G7
Senseless Denial
       Cm7                  Ab7   
I went down like a rag doll 
      G7
shooken and shy
Cm7
Deep Water, Deep Water
Ab7           G7
Senseless Denial
       Cm7                  Ab7   
I went down like a rag doll rat of
      G7
 a child

[Verse]
     Cm7
Well King rat has me on his list 
again
      Ab7                    G7
I can never be on the fence again
  Cm7
I found out it's all loud. Open like
 an organ and it
      Ab7               G7
talk, talk, talk, talk again
Cm7
he promised me that when I cheated 
him
            Ab7     G7
But I could open my eye well...
Cm7
lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky,
                     Ab7           
lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky 
   G7
me again.

[Chorus]
Cm7
Deep Water, Deep Water
Ab7           G7
This Senseless Denial
      Cm7                      Ab7
I got fed like a fish, full of 
     G7
open smiles
Cm7
Blue Water, Deep Water
Ab7           G7
Oh Senseless Denial
      Cm7                   
I got fed like a fish on the 
   Ab7     G7
cardboard smiles

        Cm7                
What do you have to say for

Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again.
  Cm7                         Ab7  
I hardly knew I should use my feet 
G7
again
        Cm7                
What do you have to say for 
     Ab7 G7
yourself?
