"Bathwater Baby"
by, Max Stalling
from the CD, "Comfort in the Curves"


key of G#
note: CD sounds like the guitar is capoed at the 1st fret
      and played with standard G chord forms. However, the
      chords transcribed here are actual.

Intro: (play twice) (C#)(G#/C)(Bm)(D#/G)(G#)

1st verse:

(G#) I saw you go down with your heart aflame
I ran for water but grabbed (G#7) kerosene
Now, (C#) oh my goodness, despite my efforts
What a (G#) blazing mess

2nd verse:
(G#) I climbed in bed with my frozen feet
You felt something and threw (G#7) back the sheets
So (C#) there I'm lying, so there your crying, how (G#) unfortunate
But (D#/G) aw, through it (C#) all the truth was I loved you (G#) best

chours:
(C#) Now you're holding something better
And now I'm holding old love letters and (G#) new regrets
The (C#) irony is just so glaring
Cause now I've got this torch to carry and it (G#) burns you bet
(D#/G) But aw, through it (C#) all the truth was I (G#) loved you best

Instrumental: same chords as intro only with a little Dobro mixed in.
Repete chours:

3rd verse:
(C#) Now toothpast and tube, it's just (G#/C) one of the views I (Bm) have 
about me and you (G#) lately
(#C) It's cliche I know but seems (G#/C) apropos, if the (Bm) shoe fits well 
I figure (G#) say it
(C#)  I know it's a fact that I (G#/C) over reacted, (Bm) sometimes my 
passions (G#) betray me
(C#) The changes I made as I (G#/C)  tried to come clean; (Bm) you were my 
bath water (G#) baby

Another Instrumental: this time  with Dobro as lead instrument.

4th verse:
(C#) Now I did all the squeezing
And now I've got this real bad feeling that I (G#)  made this mess
(C#) I did all the plug pulling
 And now I'm high and dry, no fooling, it's my (G#) fault I guess
But (D#/G) aw, through it (C#) all, the truth was I (G#) loved you best
(D#/G) Aw, through it (C#) all the truth was
(D#/G) Aw, don't you (C#)  know the truth was 
(D#/G) Aw, don't you (C#) know I loved you (G#) best

(C#) You were my (Bm) bath water (G#) baby.
