[Intro]
Em G*** C/G C/G (x2)
[Verse 1]
Em G*** C/G C/G
Standing knee deep in cold water, swiftly moving
Em G*** C/G
Somehow, I-knew I'd-lost something oohh...
[Interlude]
Em G*** C/G C/G (x2)
[Verse 2]
Em G*** C/G C/G
Wading waist deep I saw a book there in the river
Em G*** C/G C/G
Waiting for-me to-find it there
Em G*** C/G C/G
I tried to read it neck deep treading water
Em G*** C/G N.C.
but-the tide it-pulled-me out to sea
[Chorus 1]
C
Then with water in my eyes
Em Em
The words began to rise from their place
C
They were beautiful and dread;
Em Em
I reached for them and fed on each phrase
Am
They were honey on my lips
G/B C/G C/G
but then a bitter twist in my side
Am
I knew they'd lay me in my grave
G/B (hold) C/G C/G
"Is there no one who can save me?" I cried
[Interlude with Vox]
Em D G* C/G C/G (x2)
[Verse 3]
Em G*** C/G Am
Sinking down deep through cold water, heavy silence
Em G*** C/G
Shadows stirring in the gloom
Em G*** C/G Am
What things that-lay sleeping down deep in the darkness
Em G*** C/G N.C.
Woke then to-find-me in that tomb?
[Chorus 2]
C
Then with water in my eyes
Em Em
The words began to rise from their place
C
They were beautiful and dread;
Em Em
I reached for them and fed on each phrase
Am
They were honey on my lips
G/B C/G C/G
But then a bitter twist in my side
Am
I knew they'd lay me in my grave
G/B (hold) C/G D
"Is there no one who can save me?" I cried
[Bridge]
G*
And when I lost all hope to look
G*
Someone took that heavy
C/G C/G
Book from my hands
G*
All its weight they set aside
G* C/G C/G
After they had satisfied its demands
Em
I felt white and black reverse
G** G* C/G C/G
And the lifting, a curse from my heart
Em
Then like one receiving sight
D G* C/G D
I beheld a brilliant light in the dark
[Outro Vox]
Em D G* C/G C/G (x3)
Em D Bm (hold) C/G (hold)
