Song: Bring Me Some Water
By:   Mellisa Ethridge

[intro:] A x 8  {guitar + bass}

[verse:1]
A
tonight I feel so weak
but all in love is fair
I turn the other cheek
              {stop}
And I feel the slap and the sting of the foul night air
    D
and I know you're only human
A
And I haven't got talking room
D
But tonight while I'm making excuses
E     {stop}
Some other woman is making love to you

[Chorus:] {whole band comes in}
A         G           D
 Somebody bring me some water
A            G            D
 Can't you see I'm burning alive
A              G              D
 Can't you see my baby's got another lover
A              G             D  {note, chords differ from other chorus}
 I don't know how I'm gonna surive
A             G             D
 Somebody bring me some water
A              G             D
 Can't you see it's out of control
A              G                D
 Baby's got my heart baby's got my mind
E                            {stop}                 A
 But tonight the sweet devil, sweet devil's got my soul

[verse:2]
A
 when will this aching pass
 when will the night be through
 I want to hear the breaking glass
 I only feel the steel of the red hot truth
D
 And I'd do anything to get it out of my mind
A
 I need some insanity that temporary kind

D
 tell me how will I ever be the same
E                                         A
 when I know that woman is whispering you name

[Chorus:]
A         G           D
 Somebody bring me some water
A            G            D
 Can't you see I'm burning alive
A              G              D
 Can't you see my baby's got another lover
E                           D
 I don't know how I'm gonna surive
A             G             D
 Somebody bring me some water
A              G             D
 Can't you see it's out of control
A              G                D
 Baby's got my heart baby's got my mind
E                              {stop}               F#m {part of first F#m G A}
 But tonight the sweet devil, sweet devil's got my soul

 [Chorus:]

 Can't you see I'm burning alive
A              G              D
 Can't you see my baby's got another lover
