[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
