 CHORUS:

 Im not going to cry  I bet he hit the water high
 Im not going to cry I bet he hit the water high
 
 VERSE:
 I guess he lost control, and welcomed in the night
 It was too much for him, what were his thoughts that night?
 The river thames is cold, it keeps on flowing on
 But it left Dave alone, it just kept flowing on.

 Im not going to cry I bet he hit the water high
 
 BREAK:
 G#           A             B               C# 
 Late night a street in the west of the city
 There was a place there where he lost himself
 Strange feelings did he feel there, strange people
 Did he meet there, angry sounds did he hear there
 D                        A 
 Like the howling of bulls..
 
 CHORUS:
 E         B         A         D                A E 
 Im not going to cry  I bet he hit the water high
 Im not going to cry I bet he hit the water high
