First Reactions After Falling Through The Ice Chords

(ver. 1)
La Dispute

INTRO:

F  [F]  Am  [Am]  Em  [Em]  C   Em
F  [F]  Am  [Am]  Em  [Em]  C   Em


        F
 I knew it was far too late to
 Am
 Walk out on the lake then
 Em
 Halfway-to-the-middle thawed
 C              Em       F
 I wasn't doing all that great
[F]
 Had I cut my hair short?
Am                        Em
 Had I grown my beard out long?
[Em]
 Had I gone to school or...?
C              Em         Am
 Why do all my plans fall through?


Am
 There's a leak in the basement
[Am]
 Stupid permanent estrangement
[Am]
 Casement windows need glazing
[Am]
 Hinges and arms need be replaced


F
 All the way at the edge
   Am
 I said, "I think that we should head back.
Em
 What if now the ice cracked?
C                  Em
 I think I felt it bend"
F
 We took opposite steps
Am
 Tried to even the stress
Em
 Picked a safe direction but
     C                      Em
 You never know the way the ice thins


Dm
 Half-asleep in dreams where
C
 Ceilings start collapsing
Am
 Free fall through the roof beams
[Am]
 Get startled back awake
   Dm
 Before you hit the pavement
C
 Floor of the foundation
Am
 Water in the basement
[Am]
 Bodies in the lake


        F
 "Don't panic," I could hear you
 Am
 Saying as I fell through
Em                  C
 Blackness complete down
                 Em           F
 Waiting till my feet touched ground
[F]
 At the bottom, they finally did
Am
 First reaction was, "This is it"
Em                            C
 Next thought was, "Just stay calm,
              Em        Dm
 Kick up, and save your phone"


[Dm]   C   Am   [Am]


Dm                             F
 'Cause I wanted to tell you...
Em
 And I thought you should know...


Dm
 Because I thought it might scare you
F
 To see me under the ice
Am
 Make you remember you cared for me
[Am]
 What would you do if I died?
Dm
 Would you fly out for my funeral?
C
 Get too drunk at my wake?
Am
 Would you make a scene, then
[Am]                             F
 Climb in and try to resuscitate me?


[F]   Am   C   Dm


F            Am
I was on the ice and
C          Dm
I was underwater


F
 I was getting pulled out
[F]
 I was in my wet clothes
Dm
 Stumble on the walk back
[Dm]                        Am
 Someone stoked the fire at camp
[Am]
 I was by the flames
[Am]
 Trying to get my body warm
Dm
 I was standing naked
[Dm]                               [Dm]
 Checking to see if my phone still worked


[Dm]
 I will cut my hair short
[Dm]
 Trust me
   Am
 I will; I will let my beard go
[Am]
 Trust me
   C
 I will; I will never tempt fate
[C]
 Not once
   G
 I swear, I will never trust ice
[G]           G7      Am
 I will never trust a thing
