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#

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
