[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G][C][D][G]
[C][D][G][C][D]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[C]I look at all the things I p[D]ut you thr[G]ough
[C]I've often wondered
how it [D]bothered [G]you
[C]I know how close I came to [D]losing you[G]
But we [Am]managed [G]to stay [D]alive
I guess [Am]only [G]the strong sur[D]vive

[Verse 2]
I just gotta tell you baby
[G]Sometimes lov[C]e can be [D]so cru[G]el
Sometimes we [C]learn 'bout [D]being [G]a fool
I don't know why [C]girl,
we've [D]lasted so [G]long?
It may be the wa[C]ter that [D]keeps us strong
[G][C][D][G][C][D]
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
I took for granted that
you'd [D]always be [G]there
[C]I know it seemed at times I did[D]n't care
[G]I d[C]idn't know what
you had [D]given [G]me
But with [Am]love it [G]takes some [D]time
But through the [Am]joy and
[G]pain [D]you're mine

[Verse 4]
I just gotta tell you baby
[G]Sometimes lov[C]e can be [D]so cru[G]el
Sometimes we [C]learn 'bout [D]being [G]a fool
I don't know why [C]girl,
we've [D]lasted so [G]long?
It may be the wa[C]ter that
[D]keeps us [G]strong
It may be [C]the water that [D]keeps us strong
[G]You know that

[Verse 5]
[C]I'm so glad to [D]say,
oh baby
[G]That it [C]all turned out [D]this
way 'cause you know [G]that
It [C]almost [G]slipped [D]away, oh baby
But we man[Am]aged [G]to stay [D]alive
I guess [Am]only [G]the strong [D]survive

[Verse 6]
I just gotta tell you baby
[G]Sometimes lov[C]e can be [D]so cru[G]el
Sometimes we [C]learn 'bout [D]being a [G]fool
I don't know why [C]girl,
we've [D]lasted so [G]long?
It may be [C]the water
that [D]keeps us strong
[G]You know that

[Verse 7]
[C]I'm so glad to [D]say,
oh baby
[G]That it [C]all turned out [D]this way,
cause you know [G]that
It [C]almost slipped [D]away, oh baby
But we man[Am]aged [G]to stay [D]alive
I guess we found that [Am]only
[G]the strong [D]survive

[Verse 8]
So I just had to tell you baby
[G]Sometimes lov[C]e can be [D]so cru[G]el
Sometimes we [C]learn 'bout [D]be [G]ing a fool
I don't know why [C]girl,
we've las[D]ted so [G]long?
It may be [C]the water
that [D]keeps us strong
[G]It may be [C]the water that [D]keeps us strong
[G]It may

[Verse 9]
be the water
Keeps us strong
[C]It may be the water, baby
[D]Keeps us strong
[G]It may be the [C]wa ter
[D]Keeps [G]us strong[C]
[D]It [G]may[C] be the
[D]water that keeps us strong
