Also I'd like to credit the bass tab for this song (ver 1),
which helped me a lot to figure out some of these notes.

Fun fact: three of those 'chords' are the ones in "A Gentleman Caller"'s intro, playing which
reminded me of this song (thus inspiring me to make a tab).

We've dug this hole
The water's fine

Shallow means, deep ends
When the regret sinks in
Pressure erupts
Which way is up?

Swimming at night
We've finally hit, hit
We've finally hit bottom!

Swallowing promises back into our lungs
Losing direction of our affections
All right!

[Chorus]
e |---------| B |---------| G |-----7---| D |---5-7---| A |---5-5---| x4 E |---3-----|

Shallow means, deep ends
When the regret sinks in
Pressure erupts
Which way is up?

Down it goes
Down it goes
