              Intro: G Em Bm A 
 
      G                      Em 
 If you are not the one for me 
          Bm                           A 
 Then how come I can bring you to your knees     
      G                      Em 
 If you are not the one for me 
          Bm                     A 
 Why do I hate the idea of being free? 
 
        G                     Em 
 And if I'm not the one for you 
                   Bm                     A 
 You've gotta stop holding me the way you do 
            G                     Em 
 Oh, and if I'm not the one for you 
             Bm                               A 
 Why have we been through what we have been through? 
 
         G        Em 
 It's so cold out here  
         Bm    A 
 In your wilderness 
            G                Em 
 Now I want you to  be my keeper 
     Bm                  A 
 But not if you're so reckless  
 
                 D 
 If you're gonna let me down 
 
 Let me down gently 
 Em 
 Don't pretend that you don't want me 
 Bm                             G 
 Our love ain't water under the bridge 
 
                 D 
 If you're gonna let me down 
 
 Let me down gently 
 Em 
 Don't pretend that you don't want me 
 Bm                             G 
 Our love ain't water under the bridge 
 
 D Em 
 Oh 
          Bm                             G 
 Say that our love ain't water under the bridge 
 
 G                    Em 
 What are you waiting for? 
           Bm                           A 
 You never seem to make it through the door 
     G                    Em 
 and who are you hiding from? 
             Bm                              A 
 it ain't no life to live like you're on the run 
 
      G                  Em 
 Have I ever asked for much? 
          Bm                         A 
 the only thing that I want is your love 
 
                 D 
 If you're gonna let me down 
 
 Let me down gently 
 Em 
 Don't pretend that you don't want me 
 Bm                             G 
 Our love ain't water under the bridge 
 
                 D 
 If you're gonna let me down 
 
 Let me down gently 
 Em 
 Don't pretend that you don't want me

 Our love ain't water under the bridge

 Oh 
          Bm                             G

         G        Em 
 It's so cold out here  
         Bm    A 
 In your wilderness 
            G                Em 
 Now I want you to  be my keeper 
     Bm                  A 
 But not if you're so reckless, ooohh  
  
                 D 
 If you're gonna let me down 
 
 Let me down gently 
 Em 
 Don't pretend that you don't want me 
 Bm                             G 
 Our love ain't water under the bridge 
 
                 D 
 If you're gonna let me down 
 
 Let me down gently 
 Em 
 Don't pretend that you don't want me 
 Bm                             G 
 Our love ain't water under the bridge 
 
 D Em 
 Oh, say it ain't so... 
          Bm                             G 
 Say that our love ain't water under the bridge 
 
 D Em 
 Oh, say it ain't so... 
          Bm                             G 
 Say that our love ain't water under the bridge 
 
 D Em 
        ( A )                          ( D ) 
 Say that our love ain't water under the bridge
