[Intro]
[E] [Bm7] [D] [E] [Bm7] [D]

[E]I know you [Bm7]think i'm afraid
[D]To take [E]a chance
[Bm7]Go into [D]the deep end
[E]Usher baby
[Bm7]Turn the [D]lights on
[E]These waters, can [Bm7]get a little busy
[D]But I [E]got experience
[Bm7]Don't mind trecking [D]through the storm
[E]Long as I know that [Bm7]you're here with me baby
[D]Shedding all [E]your innocence
[Bm7]I see the walls are [D]looking like they might precipitate
[E]Until I'm in so deep, [Bm7]it's up to my waist
[D]But I promise [E]girl I ain't afraid
[Bm7]It's raining [D]inside your bed
[E]No parts, [Bm7]are dry
[D]Lovin' made you so [E]wet, your legs, your thighs
[Bm7]And ever since we first [D]met, I knew that I...
[E]I knew I was ready [Bm7]baby, to take that dive...
[D]♪
[E]Can't help [Bm7]it, no oh
[D]I want you [E]to feel me
[Bm7]Every little bit [D]of me, baby
[E]I don't need [Bm7]a life saver, baby
[D]Baby going deeper [E]ain't gonna kill me
[Bm7]And I love the [D]rush I get from it
[E]I see the walls are [Bm7]looking like they might precipitate
[D]Until i'm in so deep, [E]it's up to my waist
[Bm7]But I promise girl [D]I ain't afraid, oh no
[E]It's raining [Bm7]inside your bed
[D]No parts [E]are dry
[Bm7]Lovin' made you so [D]wet, your legs, your thighs
[E]And ever since we first [Bm7]met, I knew that I...
[D]I knew I was ready [E]baby, to take that dive
[Bm7]I'll be inside when [D]the tides are rolling baby
[E]You'll be my place [Bm7]to hide, all night
[D]All night, baby
[E]I'm not [Bm7]afraid to try
[D]And knew I, don't [E]mind playing in the rain
[Bm7]And I was hoping that [D]I get to, take that dive...
[E]It's raining [Bm7]inside your bed
[D]No parts [E]are dry
[Bm7]Lovin' made you so [D]wet, your legs, your thighs
[E]And ever since we first [Bm7]met, I knew that I...
[D]I knew I was ready [E]baby, to take that dive...
[Bm7]Oh...
[D]Oh-ho-oh-oh, ready baby
