Abm F# E   x4


Verse 1:
Abm        F#            E
   Standing  knee deep in cold water
              Abm       F#
swiftly moving   somehow  I 
                  E
knew I'd lost something


Interlude: Abm F# E   x2
  

Verse 2:
Abm      F#            E
   Wading  waist deep I saw a book there in 
         Abm       F#                  E
the river   waiting  for me to find it there
Abm       F#          E
   I tried  to read it neck deep treading water
Abm            F#                    E
   but the tide  it pulled me out to sea


Chorus 1: 
          E
Then with water in my eyes the words 
                         Abm
began to rise from their place
          E
They were beautiful and dread
                                   Abm
I reached for them and fed on each phrase
          C#m
They were honey on my lips but 
              B/D#        E
then a bitter twist in my side
              C#m
I knew they'd lay me in my grave 
                         B/D#(hold)  E
"Is there no one who can save me?" I cried


Post Chorus: Abm F# E   x2


Verse 3:
Abm       B
   Sinking down deep 
       Ebm
through   cold water
C#m             Abm
   heavy silence   shadows 
F#          Ebm    F#   E
   stirring in the gloom
Abm           F#
   What things  that lay 
 Ebm    E         C#m
sleeping down deep   in 
            Abm
the darkness   woke then 
F#           Ebm     F#   E
  to find me in that tomb?


Chorus 2:
          E
Then with water in my eyes the words 
                         Abm
began to rise from their place
          E
They were beautiful and dread
                                   Abm
I reached for them and fed on each phrase
          C#m
They were honey on my lips but 
              B/D#        E
then a bitter twist in my side
              C#m
I knew they'd lay me in my grave 
                         B/D#(hold)  E    F#
"Is there no one who can save me?" I cried


Bridge:
           B
And when I lost all hope to look
        F#/Bb
someone took that heavy 
             E
book from my hands all 
    B
its weight they set aside after 
Ebm           F#         E
they had satisfied its demands
       Abm
I felt white and black reverse
        F#        B             E
and the lifting a curse from my heart
          Abm
Then like one receiving sight
    F#               Ebm          E   F#
I beheld a brilliant light in the dark


Outro: Abm  F# B E   x3, Abm  F# Ebm E(hold)
