Intro: Dbm

Verse 1:
Dbm                                        A
He'd been there all happy hour, spinning a two-year chip on the counter
  E                                            B
I picked the stool to his left and asked him, "What's that in your hand?"
                  Dbm                            A
He said, "It's an all-night conversation 'bout a man too gone for saving
    E                                   B
Who traded in everything he loved for a buzz that didn't love him"
               Dbm                       A
He said, "Only light I saw was neon in a dive off of west end
      E
I was all out of hope at the end of my rope
  B
I knew it was sink or swim, I was

Chorus:
            Dbm
Dead in the water, drowning in bourbon
        A
I was a goner, that's when I heard Him
E                            B
Whisper to my soul at 2:00 a.m., I said, Amen
                 Dbm7
I poured out the bottle, found something stronger
              A
When I didn't wanna live any longer
  E                               B
I crawled down to that muddy riverside
            A
Dead in the water
    B             Dbm A  E  B
And I walked out alive"

Verse 2:
            Dbm                              A
He said, "I come back here to remember who I was before that river
        E                                 B
Washed away the hell that held me down so long, oh
      Dbm                         A
Now I share my testimony with the whiskey bent and the lonely
    E
Who think that they don't have a prayer
B
Lord knows I've been there"

Chorus:
            Dbm
Dead in the water, drowning in bourbon
        A
I was a goner, that's when I heard Him
E                            B
Whisper to my soul at 2:00 a.m., I said, Amen
                 Dbm7
I poured out the bottle, found something stronger
              A
When I didn't wanna live any longer
  E                               B
I crawled down to that muddy riverside
            A
Dead in the water
    B             Dbm A  E
And I walked out alive"
B             Dbm A  E  B
I walked out alive

Bridge:
A
There's a way to leave behind
E
Everywhere you've ever been
Dbm
There's a well that won't run dry
       B
You'll never thirst again

Out-chorus:
            Dbm
Come to the water, bring all your hurting
            A
Come as you are and lay down your burdens
     E                             B
Just call on Jesus' name at 2:00 a.m., and say "Amen"
             Dbm7
Pour out the bottle, there's something stronger
              A
Don't have to live this way any longer
     E                             B
Just crawl down to that muddy riverside
            A
Dead in the water
    B                Dbm A  E
And you'll walk out alive
B                Dbm A  E
You'll walk out alive
     B
Hallelujah
