1 Verse:
C#m                                        A
He'd been there all happy hour, spinning a two-year chip on the counter
  E                                            H 
І picked the stool to his left and asked him  "What's that in your hand?"
                  C#m                            A
He said, "It's an all-night conversation 'bout a man too gone for saving
    E                                   H 
Who traded in everything he loved for a buzz that didn't love him"
               C#m                       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
  H 
I knew it was sink or swim  I was  
 
Chorus:
            C#m
Dead in the water, drowning in bourbon
        A
I was a goner, that's when I heard Him
E                            H 
Whisper to my soul at 2:00 a.m , I said, Amen
                 C#m7
I poured out the bottle, found something stronger
              A
When I didn't wanna live any longer
  E                               H 
I crawled down to that muddy riverside
            A
Dead in the water
    H             C#m A  E  H 
And I walked out alive"  
 
2 Verse:
            C#m                              A
He said, "I come back here to remember who I was before that river
        E                                 H 
Washed away the hell that held me down so long, oh
      C#m                         A
Now I share my testimony with the whiskey bent and the lonely
    E
Who think that they don't have a prayer
H 
Lord knows I've been there"  
 
Chorus:
            C#m
Dead in the water, drowning in bourbon
        A
I was a goner, that's when I heard Him
E                            H 
Whisper to my soul at 2:00 a.m , I said, Amen
                 C#m7
I poured out the bottle, found something stronger
              A
When I didn't wanna live any longer
  E                               H 
I crawled down to that muddy riverside
            A
Dead in the water
    H             C#m A  E
And I walked out alive"
H             C#m A  E  H 
I walked out alive  
 
Bridge:
A
There's a way to leave behind
E
Everywhere you've ever been
C#m
There's a well that won't run dry
       H 
You'll never thirst again  
 
Out-Chorus:
            C#m
Come to the water, bring all your hurting
            A
Come as you are and lay down your burdens
     E                             H 
Just call on Jesus' name at 2:00 a.m , and say "Amen"
             C#m7
Pour out the bottle, there's something stronger
              A
Don't have to live this way any longer
     E                             H 
Just crawl down to that muddy riverside
            A
Dead in the water
    H                C#m A  E
And you'll walk out alive
H                C#m A  E
You'll walk out alive
     H 
Hallelujah
