Eleanor,
F G C
you’re perfect in every single way,
F G C
and i should’ve left my vows down by the lake -
G7
‘cause i can’t live this way.
C F G C
used to be, i could see the hall light up around your face,
F G C
where the pews stayed empty long before you came,
G7
when i thought i could live this way.

C
Eleanor,
F G C
you’re perfect in every single way,
F G Am
never thought i’d stand here lonely on the lake,
G7
i can’t live this way.
C F G C
with my covenant showing nothing to embrace,
F G Am
something real i’d love to feel you here to stay,
G7
but i know you couldn’t live that way.

C
Eleanor,
C F G
i never should’ve buried you today,
F G Am
but i see your face reflecting off the lake,
G7
in the clouds where your head will lay.
C F G C
used to be, empty seats defeated me and stripped my faith,
F G Am
but my seed is sewn in peter’s gates my fate,
G7
will lead right back to you someday.

something’s in the water, was it you?

something’s in the water was it you?
Cmaj7
wash over me.
