Intro: B  x4

E  x4


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


Interlude: E  x2


Verse 2:
E
  Wading waist deep I saw a book there in
     E
the river  waiting for me to find it there
E
  I tried to read it neck deep treading water
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
       E
then a bitter twist in my side
       C#m
I knew they'd lay me in my grave
             E
"Is there no one who can save me?" I cried


Post Chorus: E  x2

Verse 3:
B
  Sinking down deep
    Ebm
through  cold water
G#m
  heavy silence  shadows
E
  stirring in the gloom
F#
  What things that lay
 C#m
sleeping down deep  in
      G#m
the darkness  woke then
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
       E
then a bitter twist in my side
       C#m
I knew they'd lay me in my grave
             F#
"Is there no one who can save me?" I cried


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