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
