Intro

Verse 1

 In the be-ginning, you really loved me,

 I was too blind; I could not see.

  [G/f#]

But now that you left me, oh,

How I cried, I keep crying.

 You don't miss your water, 'till your well runs dry.

Verse 2

 I kept you crying, sad and blue, oh my, oh.

 I was a playboy; I could not be true.

  [G/f#]

But now that you left me,

 How I cried; I keep crying, I keep crying.

 Ooh, you don't miss your water,

 No, I never miss my water, 'till my well runs dry.

Verse 3

 I sit here and wonder; how in the world this could be?

 My, oh my, I never thought,

 Oh, I never thought you'd ever leave me.

  [G/f#]

But now that you left me,

Good Lord, good Lord, how I cried out;

 You don't miss your water,

 You don't miss your water, 'till your well runs dry.

 Ooh, you don't miss your water, 'till your well runs dry.

Coda

 I miss my water,

 I keep missing my water,

 I keep missing my water.

 And I want my water,

 I need my water,

 I love my water,

 And I want my water.

 And I'm little thirsty now,

 And I'm little thirsty now.
