"Walk on Water" by Men Without Hats

(piano intro:)

[C] here is the water   the one that rushes from our 
[Bb] hearts into the [F] sea
[Ab] endlessly [Bb] hoping to [F] be

[C] here is the water   the one that rushes from our 
[Bb] minds into the [F] street 
[Ab] endlessly [Bb] hoping to [F] meet

[Db] [Eb]   [Db] [Eb] 

(intro:)

[F] [Fsus4] [Fsus2] [Fsus4]

(verse:)

they [F] said we could walk on [Bb] water
they [F] said we should knock on [C] wood
we did [Bb] none of these [F] things and they [C] said we could [F] sing
so we [Bb] sang about [F] falling in [C] love

they [F] said that we were getting [Bb] smarter
they [F] said that we were something [C] new
we were [Bb] none of these [F] things and they [C] said we could [F] sing
so we [Bb] sang about [F] twenty and [C] two

(bridge:)

we done [Bb] all the wrong [F] things  and [C] all we done [F] good


they said we were the new beginning
they said we were a brand new start
we were none of these thing and they said we could sing
so we sang about the state of the art

they said we were the second coming
they said we were a different breed
we were none of these things and they said we could sing 
so we sang about the birds and the bees

bunch of do nothing that were down on your knees

(chorus:)

[F] can you walk on water  but can you walk on 
[C]   W A T E R (oh no)   can you walk on 
[Bb]  W A T E R
oh can you walk on [F] water

they [F] said we could walk on [Bb] water
they [F] said we should knock on [C] wood
we did [Bb] none of these [F] things and they [C] said we could [F] sing
so we [Bb] sang about [F] falling in [C] love

they say that we say we say something
they say that we say something new
we say some of these things and they say we can sing 
so we sang about a hundred and two

but if nobody listens well nothing comes true

[repeat chorus (x2)]

oh can you walk on water  we never walked on 
[C] W A T E R  [Bb]  
[C] [Bb] 
so tell me something [C] smarter W A T E R  [Bb]
