[Verse 1]
Em                D6/F#        Em D6/F#
Now the time has come to speak

A7/C#          C6
I was not able

    Em               D6/F#      Em D6/F#
And water through a rusted pipe

      A7/C#                     C6
Could make the sense that i do

Em      D6/F#
Gurgle, mutter

Em     D6/F#
Hiss, stutter

A7/C#
Moan the words like water

C6
Rush and foam and choke

       Em
Having waited

     D6/F#      Em
This long of a winter

   D6/F#   A7/C#
I fear i only

     C6
Croak and sigh
[Chorus]
Am  G/A  Am  F/A ou F/C
(this phrase 2 times)

Am         G/A    Am  F/A
Somewhere deep within

          Am
Hear the creak

      G/A      Am    F/C
That lets the tale begin
(Repeat lyrics 1 time) [Verse 2]
Em                D6/F#       Em D6/F#
Now the time has come to move

A7/C#                 C6
      I was not able

Em               D6/F#        Em D6/F#
Water through a rusted pipe

      A7/C#                    C6
Could make the moves that i do

Em       D6/F#
Stagger, stumble

Em     D6/F#
Trip, fumble

A7/C#
Creep like a tinkle

C6
Freezing coffin grip

       Em
Having waited

     D6/F#      Em
This long of a winter

   D6/F#   A7/C#
I fear i only

          C6
Slip and slide
[Chorus]
Am  G/A  Am  F/A ou F/C
(This phrase 2 times)

Am         G/A    Am  F/A
Somewhere deep within

          Am
Hear the creak
