[Intro 1]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Late on a Friday, my husband went up
To the [F]mountains with three [C]friends
[C]They took provisions and bottles of bourbon
To [F]last them all through the [C]weekend
[Am]One hundred mile[C]s they drove
[Am]Just to fish in a stre[F]am
And there's so much [C]water,
[F]so clo[C]se to [G]home[C][C]

[Verse 2]
[C]When they arrived, it was cold and dark
[F]They set up their camp qui[C]ckly
[C]Warmed up with whiskey,
they walked to the river
Where the [F]water flowed past [C]darkly
In the [Am]moonlight they saw the [C]body
Of a [Am]girl floating face [F]down
And there's so much [C]water,
[F]so clo[C]se to [G]home[C][C]

[Chorus 1]
When he [F]holds me now, I'm [C]pretending
I [F]feel like I'm frozen in[G]side
And [F]be hind my [C]eyes,
my [F]daily dis[C]guise
[F]Everything's [G]turning to [C]white[C]

[Verse 3]
It was [C]too hard to tell
how long she'd been dead
The [F]river was that close to [C]freezing
But [C]one thing for sure
The girl hadn't died very [F]well
to judge from the [C]bruising
They [Am]stood there above her all [C]thinking
The [Am]same thoughts at the same [F]time
There's so much [C]water,
[F]so clo[C]se to [G]home[C][C]

[Verse 4]
[C]They shifted her downstream
from their fishing
[F]Between two rocks,
they [C]gently wedged her
[C]After all, they'd come so far, it was late
And [F]the girl would keep,
she was going [C]nowhere
[Am]They stayed up there fishing for two days[C]
On the Sunday,
[Am]they reported it when they came back down[F]
There's so much [C]water,
[F]so clo[C]se to [G]home[C][C]

[Chorus 2]
When he [F]holds me now, I'm pre[C]tending
[F]Nothing is working in[G]side
And [F]be hind my [C]eyes, my [F]daily dis[C]guise
[F]Everything's [G]turning to [C]white[C]

[Verse 5]
The [C]newspapers said
that the girl had been strangled
To [F]death and also mo[C]lested
On the [C]day of the funeral
the radio reported
That a [F]young man had been ar[C]rested
I [Am]went to the service a [C]stranger
I [Am]drove past the lake out of [F]town
There's so much [C]water,
[F]so clo[C]se to [G]home[C][C]

[Chorus 3]
When he [F]holds me now, I'm pre[C]tending
[F]Nothing is working in[G]side[C][G]
And [F]be hind my [C]eyes, my [F]daily dis[C]guise
[F]Everything's [G]turning to [C]white
