Intro:

G, D7

Verse 1:

In the be-[G]ginning, you really [G7]loved me,
I was too [C]blind; I [G]could not see.
G G/f#
But now that you left me, oh,
[Em] How I cried, [D]I keep crying.[C]

You don't miss your [G]water,[C] 'till your [G]well runs dry.

Verse 2:

I kept you [G]crying, sad and [G7]blue, oh my, oh.
I was a [C]playboy; I [G]could not be true.
G G/f#
But now that you left me,
How I [Em]cried; I keep [D]crying, I keep [C]crying.

Ooh, you don't miss your [G]water,
No, I never miss my water,[C] 'till my well runs [G]dry.

Verse 3:

I sit here [G]and wonder; how in the world this could [G7]be?
My, oh my, [C]I never thought,
Oh, I never thought [G]you'd ever leave me.
G G/f#
But now that you left me,
[Em] Good Lord, [D]good Lord, how I [C]cried out;

You don't miss your [G]water,
You don't miss your [C]water, 'till your well runs [G]dry.
Ooh, you don't miss your water,[C] 'till your well runs [G]dry.

Coda:

I miss my [G]water,[C][G]
I keep missing my [G]water,[C][G]
I keep missing my [G]water.[C][G]
And I want my [G]water,[C][G]
I need my [G]water,[C][G]
I love my [G]water,[C][G]
And I want my [G]water.[C][G]
And I'm little [G]thirsty now,[C][G]
And I'm little [G]thirsty now.[C][G]
