  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

  fade out
