Intro: Dm, Em, Bb
Riff 1: [Dm, Em, Bb]
Dm Em She stands twelve feet above the flood Bb She stares
Alone
Across the water
Dm Em The loneliness grows and slowly Bb Fills her frozen body
Sliding downwards
Riff 2: [G, F#, Bb]
G F# One by one her senses die Bb The memories fade
And leave her eyes
G F# Still seeing worlds that never were Bb Repeat Riff 1: [Dm, Em, Bb] x2 And one by one the bright birds leave her ...
Repeat Riff 2: [G, F#, Bb] x 2
Dm Em Starting at the violent sound Bb She tries to turn
But final
Noiseless
Dm Em Slips and strikes her soft dark head Bb The water bows
Receives her
G F# Bb And drowns her at its ease G F# Bb Drowns her at its ease Dm Em I would have left the world all bleeding Bb Could I only help you love Dm Em Bb The fleeting shapes so many years ago
So young and beautiful and brave
G F# Everything was true Bb It couldn't be a story G F# I wish it was all true Bb I wish it couldn't be a story Dm The words all left me Em Lifeless
Hoping
Bb Breathing like the drowning man Dm Em Oh Fushia
You leave me
Bb G, F#, Bb Breathing like the drowning man Bb G, F#, Bb Breathing like the drowning man
Repeat Riff 1,and 2 two times alternately to the end...
