Chords

Written for Whole Step Down Tuning (DGCFAD). If played in normal tuning it's simply one step higher than the original. to emulate the Piano Sound pluck first the high strings with your fingers and then the bass with your thumb like that: x x x x x x x x ........ Sounds pretty good that way.

D          A                     Bm6        *interlude 1
  Saw a silhouette across a fluorescent

D              A                 Bm6        *interlude 2
  Floating overhead, undoing his helmet

Gmaj7               D9                   C9         Em
  Through the murky beams and blue-green sea life

Asus4
       I saw him spinnin' towards the moonlight

D            A             Bm6
  I pull him in, he wasn't breathin'

D               A                     Bm6
  His eyes were wide and I saw two of me there

Gmaj7              D9                    C9        Em
   There's an ugly buzz that hovers just above the quiet

Asus4
        Found a way to make it silent

                  Dmaj7     A      Em
I'm comin' up for aaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiirrrrrrr       x2

D                          (F) *bass part
Aaaaaaaaiiiiirrrr                                x2

D              A                  Bm6
  They hold my hand and ask me to pull through

D                       A                       Bm6
  A voice I know says, "Dear, he probably can't hear you"

              Dmaj7     A      Em
comin' up for aaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiirrrrrrr       x3
(again without singing) D (F) fade out
