G Dm Am X2
[Verse]
G Dm Am
They found her body in the water
Am G
Floating face down in the river
G Dm Am
The one who found her called the doctor
Am
Or so they say
G Dm Am
Not a scratch, she wasn't bleeding
Am G
Sixteen years old, died a virgin
G Dm Am
Unlucky lover, she did herself in
Am
Or so they say
C F C
Rescue Annie from the river
F Am
With every kiss she is delivered
F C
From the depths and we forgive her
Em
For falling in
G Dm Am
They say the doctor could have saved her
Am G
If he'd come a little sooner
G Dm Am
It broke his heart to know he'd lost her
Am G
To the world
G Dm Am
And though he couldn't rescue Annie
Am G
He resolved to tell her story
G Dm Am
He used her face to make a body
Am
To teach the world
C F C
Rescue Annie from the river
F Am
With every kiss she is delivered
F C
From the depths and we forgive her
Em
For falling in
C Gm Dm x2
Am C F E C
In darkened storage rooms of hospitals across the world she waits
Em Am F
For the missing kiss that damned her to her fate
G Am G Am
G Dm Am
Annie sinks down to the bottom
Am G
The one who spurned her is forgotten
G Dm Am
While she is cherished by a million pairs of lips
C F C
Rescue Annie from the river
F C
Help her breathe, try to forgive her
F C
Press her chest, always remember
F Am
That in her heart we find our harbor
F Am
And every year, come early summer
F C
He lingers down there by the river
F C
Rescue Annie from the river
F Am
In life, her lonely lips were never
F C
Loved, in death, caressed forever
Em
We all fell in
