Artist: The Beths Song: Knees Deep Album: Expert In A Dying Field [Intro] G G [Verse I]
         G
Watching light through water

          C
I want to bend the way it bends

    Em                             D
You slice like a knife through the surface

           C
But what a thrill to see it mend

        Am       C
With no scar, no memory

    G                        Am
I’m envious, why pretend I’m not
[Verse II]
       G
Wading in up to the ankles

         C
The cold speaks straight to my bones

    Em                  D
Whole body and soul hesitation

       C
I am a coward turned to stone

       Am        C
I stay there for centuries

   G      F       Em    Am
So all of history knows about it
[Pre-Chorus]
    D
But hey hey

                  D
We made it to the longest day

        D
And the sun, the wind the earth

                D
Are wearing me away
[Chorus]
    G                        C
The shame! I wish that I was brave enough to dive in

      Em                  D
But I never have been and never will be

    C                                   G
I’m coming in hot then freezing completely

                               C
The shame! I wish that I could say what I’ve been thinking

      Em                  D
But I never have done and never will do

      C
Still only knees deep, I’ll never be brave like you
[Verse III]
G
 Lighten up like a candle

       C
I’m as likely to go out

        Em                      D
You can sigh from the bottom of your lungs

          C
Until the house gets blown down

    Am         C
One step, then two, then three

     G       F      Em     Am
‘Til I’ve forgotten how to count them
[Pre-Chorus]
    D
But hey hey

                  D
We made it to the longest day

        D
And the river’s ready current

              D
Can carry me away
[Chorus]
    G                        C
The shame! I wish that I was brave enough to dive in

      Em                  D
But I never have been and never will be

    C                                   G
I’m coming in hot then freezing completely

                               C
The shame! I wish that I could say what I’ve been thinking

      Em                  D
But I never have done and never will do

      C
Still only knees deep, I’ll never be brave like you
[Instrumental] G C Em D C G C Em D C D [Chorus]
G                             C
 The shame! I wish that I was brave enough to dive in

      Em                  D
But I never have been and never will be

    C                                   G
I’m coming in hot then freezing completely

                               C
The shame! I wish that I could say what I’ve been thinking

      Em                  D
But I never have done and never will do

      C                                         G
Still only knees deep, I’ll never be brave like you
