[CHORUS]
We was: [A]Throwin rocks in the river, c[E]ounti[A]ng ties on the track [E]
[A]Thinking life could not be [E]better and [B]living in a shack.
[A]Feeling love for one an[E]other, deep dow[G]n in our bones. [A]
[A]Standing by the w[E]ater, [B]throwing rocks n skipping stones[E] .

[VERSE 2]
[E]I was raised, [B]in New Orleans. She wa[A]s born in Jacksonville. [E]
[E]And for a time, to[B] me it seemed , she mad[A]e the world stand still. [E]

[CHORUS]
T[A]hrowin rocks in the rive[E]r, cou[A]nting ties on the track [E]
[A]Thinking life could not be [E]better and [B]living in a shack.
[A]Feeling love for one an[E]other, deep dow[G]n in our bones. [A]
[A]Standing by the w[E]ater, [B]throwing rocks n skipping stones[E] .

[VERSE 3]
[E]I came home late and I [B]caught her, with a m[A]an from out of town.[E]
[E]Now I wait b[B]eside the water fo[A]r the flood to take me do[E]wn.

[CHORUS]
T[A]hrowin rocks in the rive[E]r, cou[A]nting ties on the track [E]
[A]Pouring gas on her letter[E]s and set[B]ting fire to the shack.
[A]Screaming bloody murder[E] , leav[G]ing nothing but the bones. [A]
[A]Standing by the w[E]ater, [B]throwing rocks n skipping stones[E] .

[OUTRO]
I am Sta[A]nding by the water, yeah, [E]throwing rocks[B] n skipping stones. [E]
