[G#m] Standing[F#] knee deep in[E] cold water

Verse 2:
[G#m] Wading[F#] waist deep I[E] saw a book there in
the river[G#m] waiting[F#] for me to find it [E]there
[G#m] I tried[F#] to read it[E] neck deep treading water
[G#m] but the tide[F#] it pulled me out to [E]sea
Chorus 1:
Then with [E]water in my eyes the words
began to rise from their [G#m]place
They were [E]beautiful and dread
I reached for them and fed on each [G#m]phrase
They were [C#m]honey on my lips but
then a bitter [B/Eb]twist in my [E]side
I knew they'd [C#m]lay me in my grave

[G#m] Sinking[B] down deep
through[Ebm] cold water
[C#m] heavy silence[G#m] shadows
[F#] stirring [Ebm]in the [F#]gloom[E]
[G#m] What things[F#] that lay
s[Ebm]leeping[E] down deep[C#m] in
the darkness[G#m] woke then
[F#] to find me [Ebm]in that [F#]tomb?[E]
Chorus 2:
Then with [E]water in my eyes the words
began to rise from their [G#m]place
They were [E]beautiful and dread
I reached for them and fed on each [G#m]phrase

then a bitter [B/Eb]twist in my [E]side
I knew they'd [C#m]lay me in my grave
B/Eb(hold) E F#
"Is there no one who can save me?" I cried
Bridge:
And when I [B]lost all hope to look
someone [F#/Bb]took that heavy
book from my [E]hands all
its [B]weight they set aside after
[Ebm]they had satis[F#]fied its de[E]mands
I felt [G#m]white and black reverse
and the [F#]lifting a [B]curse from my [E]heart
Then like [G#m]one receiving sight
I be[F#]held a brilliant [Ebm]light in the [E]dark[F#]
Outro: G#m F# B E x3, G#m F# Ebm E(hold)
