[Verse 1]
G C G G/F# Some water tastes colder Em C C/B Am Been rattling through time Em Flowing through bodies C C/B Am G Up into the sky
[Verse 2]
G C G G/F# The oldest known water Em C C/B Am Found deep in a mine Em Spent billions of years C C/B Am G Bubbling in brine
[Pre-chorus]
G/F# Em Miles below rock C C/B Am G D That old ocean flows C C/B Am G Full of microscopic creatures D Em All together and all alone
[Chorus]
C C/B G So close to the edge D C C/B G So close to the great divide

G C G G/F# The first living cell Em C C/B Am Growing fat in the shallows Em Met the first stranger C C/B Am G When it split down the middle
[Pre-chorus]
G/F# Em But once made separate C C/B Am G D There's no going home C C/B Am G Water loves melting D Em And flesh eats alone
