 [Intro]
 D7
   D7
 1.I appreciate your sweet kind words
   And girl you're lokking good tonight
   Had you come around not too long ago
   I'm sure we'd had us a time
    A7
   But I got someone givin' me more love than I'll ever need
    D7
   Girl you got to understand
    D7
 C1.It'd be like givin' water to a drowning man
    Building a fire n the desert sand
     G7
    Tellin' old Noah all about the flood
     D7
    Catfish hearing 'bout the Mississippi mud
     A7
    You want to give me lovin' and I'm sure that you can
            D7
    But it's like givin' water to a drowning man
 
 2.Lots of pretty women in this town
   But I don't give a second look
   It's just a waste of time staring at the cover
   When you've  already read the book
   'Cause ever since the day we met I've been in over my head
   No one loves me like she can
 
 C2.It'd be like givin' water to a drowning man
    Tellin' Merle Haggard 'bout a one night stand
    Cussin' at the devil,  preachin' at the choir
    Throwing a lighted match on a raging fire
    My baby gives me more love than any one man can stand
    It'd be like givin' water to a drowning man
