C This is a religion Am No, this is a drag C That man over there is smoking sweet cigarettes Am Hey, look at that fag! C I had a dream Am I saw you swim, sink to your grave C Down to Davy Jones' locker Am Under the waves Chorus: E F C D Don't say, "Thank God for simple truths" Take me to your leader Take me for a ride The shutters were never open The day I used to hide All of the things I never knew I should have said When you looked like Frida Kahlo Curled up in bed Chorus Am Don't drink the water, baby Am C D Don't drink the water, baby C D So much emotion C D These eyes a strange kind of blue C D Deep as the ocean C D They named a sea after you Chorus Am Don't drink the water, baby Am Don't drink the water, baby Am C D Don't drink the water, baby Am C D Don't drink the water, baby You can simplify chords by removing barre
