Normally i would write this out
but its so easy that u should get the point
A Em
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
Wife
And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here?
D G
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
A Em
And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
D G
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
the actual chords to this part go A Em but it gets boring
D
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
A Em
Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!
D G
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.
D G
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
A Em
And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right? ...am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My god!...what have I done?
D G
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.
D G
letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
G Em D
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...

| first of all David Byrne is a genius and this song and our separate reactons to it are a great testament to his ability to successfully write a song and leave it completely open to become our own- to me- this song is about perception-and how it can change if you never lived in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife- you never miss it- however once you have it and it is taken away you are in the same situation (not having it) but your reaction has completely changed. the tastes we recieve and the things (mostly comfort based materials) we become accustomed to can shape our lives when we grow attached to them-- another reat example of Byrnes testament to this type of material love is Naive Melody (this must be the place) as well as nothing but flowers-- | |

| i think its a little simplistic to say that this song is just about appreciating what you have... for one, pay attention to the delivery of the verses in contrast to the chorus. the verses are delivered like a sermon, then the chorus comes in like the choir. the character speaking is describing a sort of life process where people don't ask questions, where they blindly follow a certain path in life, getting a job, getting a wife, getting a car, without stopping to ask if this is what will make them happy. so byrne is comparing people who oversimplify and don't question their own life choices with people who blindly follow religions without questioning if its the right path for them or not. | |
