              Transcibed by Jason Bishop  [email protected] INTRO: D G A G D   VERSE 1 
     D                                                  G 
You told me you don't love me when you walked out the door 
   A7                                                  D 
I stood there feelin' lonely then the tears began to  pour 
                                 D7                G 
What else could I do, I'd never felt like that  before 
      A7                                            D 
So I cried an ol' blue river in the middle of the  floor 
 
                          G 
Now I'm up to my ears in tears 
     A7                                   D 
I'm cryin' night and day since you went  away 
                                   D7          G 
The things you  used to say Honey, I no longer hear 
     A7 
That  water's cold and clear, I'm drownin' for you  dear 
                  D 
Up to my ears in tears. 
VERSE  2 
                                                        G 
Well, I found some old love letters you wrote me years  ago 
         A7                                              D 
But the words all ran together when the tears began to  flow 
                                            D7               G 
Cause you left that water runnin' now it's got no where to  go 
            A7                                               D 
If I can't wash away your mem'ry, guess I'll just go under  slow   REPEAT CHORUS 
    A7 
The  water's cold and clear I'm drownin' for you  dear 
                   D 
Up to my ears in tears
