[Verse 1]
EbmC#F#Bb
Higher yet my love, the water is rising
EbmC#F#Bb
Up on the counter my love, grab a hold tightly
EbmC#F#B
Don't you let go my dear, I can't let you die
F#C#F#
'Til you're as old as I, as old as I, as old as I
EbmC#F#Bb
Look both ways my dear, don't trip on your laces
EbmC#F#Bb
But here you lie shot in your sleep by a bullet gone stray
EbmC#F#B
You gave me your blessing to keep you alive
F#C#F#B
'Til you're as old as I, as old as I, as old as I
F#C#Ebm
As old as I, as old as I, as old as I, as old as I
