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

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


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


Post Chorus: G#m F# E   x2

Verse 3:
G#m       B
   Sinking down deep 
       Ebm
through   cold water
C#m             G#m
   heavy silence   shadows 
F#          Ebm    F#   E
   stirring in the gloom
G#m           F#
   What things  that lay 
 Ebm    E         C#m
sleeping down deep   in 
            G#m
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 
                         G#m
began to rise from their place
          E
They were beautiful and dread
                                   G#m
I reached for them and fed on each phrase
          C#m
They were honey on my lips but 
              B/Eb        E
then a bitter twist in my side
              C#m
I knew they'd lay me in my grave 
                         B/Eb(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
       G#m
I felt white and black reverse
        F#        B             E
and the lifting a curse from my heart
          G#m
Then like one receiving sight
    F#               Ebm          E   F#
I beheld a brilliant light in the dark


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