N.C. C F C
You push me when I`m
falling
C C F C
And then you put me down
C
C F C
I guess I missed my calling
C Am
I should
have been a clown
E7
How much more
E7 Am G F
How much more can
I stand
C
You`re pouring water
F C
On a drowning
man

You put me on the right track
And then you put me down
You stab me in
the back
Everytime I turn around

Criticize my lovin`
When I`m doing the
very best I can
You`re pouring water
On a drowning man

Chorus:

N.C.
Dm
You`re pouring water
G C
On a drowning man

Dm
You treat me like
G Am
The fool that I am
E7
Am
You bet that I like everything you do
G C
Put salt in my
wounds
F G
It`s sad but it`s true


You warm me with your
kisses
Then you leave me in the cold
How can I know your wishes
When I`ve
never been told
Won`t you please forgive me
Just try and understand
You`re
pouring water
On a drowning man

Chorus
You`re pouring water
On a drowning
man
You treat me like
The fool that I am
You bet that I like everything you
do
Put salt in my wounds
It`s sad but it`s true

You warm me with your
kisses
Then you leave me in the cold
How can I know your wishes
When I`ve
never been told
Won`t you please forgive me
Just try and understand
You`re
pouring water
On a poor drowning man
C F
I got tears in my
eyes
F C
Oh, I`m a drowning man
C F
I got
tears in my eyes
C
You`re pouring water
F
On a drowing man
C
You`re pouring
water
F
On a poor drowning man
C
