Oh, hon ey, if (G)I’m not the one for (Em)you,

why have we (Bm)been through what we have been through?

It’s so (G)cold

If you’re gon na (D)let me down, let me down gent ly, (Em)don’t pre tend that you don’t want me, (Bm)our love ain’t wa ter un der the (G)bridge.

If you’re gon na (D)let me down, let me down gent ly, (Em)don’t pre tend that you don’t want me, (Bm)our love ain’t wa ter un der the (G)bridge.
