ÁGUA DE BEBER Water to Drink Tom Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes

- Refrain -

Am........B7..E7.........Am........ Água de beber, água de beber, camará Water to drink, water to drink, my comrade (please, sing this verse twice, every time)
- I -
Am........B7..E7.....Am........ Eu sempre tive uma certeza, I have always felt a certainty
...........G7........C........ que só me deu desilusão; that was always a disillusion,
.........B7..E7......Am.......C7.. É que o amor é uma tristeza, That love is just a sadness
F................E7..........Am..... é muita mágoa demais para um coração... too much sorrow for one heart...

(sing again the refrain)

- II -
Am........B7..E7......Am........
Eu quis amar mas tive medo 
I wanted to love but I was afraid
........G7..........C........
de machucar meu coração,
of hurting my heart,
.......B7..E7......Am.......C7..
Mas o amor sabe o segredo: 
But love knows a secret:
F..............E7.......Am.....
o medo pode matar o seu coração.
fear can kill your heart...

(sing again the refrain)

- III -
Am........B7..E7.......Am........
Eu nunca fiz coisa tão certa 
I have never done something so right
................G7..........C........
entrei p'ra a escola do perdão;
I entered the school of foregiveness
........B7..E7......Am.......C7..
A minha casa vive aberta, 
My house always stands open,
F.............E7........Am.....
abri todas as portas do coração...
I have opened all the doors of my heart

(sing again the refrain)
