[Verse]
C
You can have another
    G
But take me as a lover
F                          C
I will be a secret that you keep
C
Someone to remind you
     G
And, yes, to leave behind you
    F                              C
And someone to recall when you’re asleep

[Verse]
               Am                            F
And though I’m hoping you will hear the many things I say
       Am                             D7
Just remember all of them are off the record anyway

[Chorus]
C
Meet me by the water
          G
Someone’s wife and someone’s daughter
        F                           C
None of these will be my name today

[Verse]
C
Just under two million
     G
This city has it’s fill of
F                              C
People living deep within it’s walls
C
Fuelled by valley power
        G
Pumping watts for every hour
        F                                  C
Oh, and you would be the brightest of them all

[Verse]
        Am                    F
And if we say goodbye like we always will
       Am                             D7
I will watch you in my memory on that distant hill

[Chorus]
C
Meet me by the water
          G
Someone’s wife and someone’s daughter
        F                           C
None of these will be my name today

[Instrumental]
Am   F   Am   D   C   G   F   C

[Verse]
C
Take me to the ocean
    G
The ever changing motion
    F                       C
The Highway 17 Express will do
C
Living on a fault-line
G
We don’t have a lot of time
  F                      C
I read it in the Mercury News

[Verse]
             Am                              F
I know there must have been a way to fight a better fight
              Am                          D7
To shine like Santa Clara Country on it’s clearest night

[Chorus]
C
Meet me by the water
          G
Someone’s wife and someone’s daughter
        F                           C
None of these will be my name today

[Chorus]
C
Meet me by the water
          G
Someone’s wife and someone’s daughter
        F
None of these will be my name today
