(This song is impossible to play if you write it down
the way it should be. What you’ll find here is how I play
it. Hope it makes sense to ya’)

I don’t know why I love her like I do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven’t seen the worst of it yet
C G
I wanna know can you tell me
A Em7
I love to stay
E F#m G E F#m G E
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
E F#m G E F#m G E
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
G F#m E G F#m E
Washing me down, washing me down
|:E | F#m G :|
I don’t know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is an ocean that I can’t forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret
C G
I wanna know that you’ll tell me
A Em7
I love to stay
|:E | F#m G :|
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Push me in the river, dip me in the water
G F#m E G F#m E
Washing me down, washing me
C#m A C#m A Em7
Hold me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till I can’t, till I can’t, till I can’t take no more of it
E F#m G E
Take me to the water, drop me in the river
E F#m G E
Push me in the water, drop me in the river
F#m G E F#m G E
Washing me down, washing me down
|:E | F#m G :|
I don’t know why I love you like I do
All the troubles you put me through
Sixteen candles there on my wall
And here am I the biggest fool of them all
C G
I wanna know that you’ll tell me
A Em7
I love to stay
|:E | F#m G :|
Take me to the river and drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, drop me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down.
