Thrice is an amazing band and Dustin Kensrue is a brilliant singer. His acoustic version is very simple,
but he adds unique flares, to add to his already remarkable voice in lieu to chords,
that only he can pull off. I added minor changes to the outro. I hope you enjoy this tab.

[Intro]
Em G*** C/G C/G (x2)
[Verse 1]
Em G*** C/G C/G Standing knee deep in cold water, swiftly moving Em G*** C/G Somehow, I-knew I'd-lost something oohh...
[Interlude]
Em G*** C/G C/G (x2)
[Verse 2]
Em G*** C/G C/G Wading waist deep I saw a book there in the river Em G*** C/G C/G Waiting for-me to-find it there Em G*** C/G C/G I tried to read it neck deep treading water Em G*** C/G N.C. but-the tide it-pulled-me out to sea
[Chorus 1]
C Then with water in my eyes Em Em The words began to rise from their place C They were beautiful and dread; Em Em I reached for them and fed on each phrase Am They were honey on my lips G/B C/G C/G but then a bitter twist in my side Am I knew they'd lay me in my grave G/B (hold) C/G C/G "Is there no one who can save me?" I cried
[Interlude with Vox]
Em D G* C/G C/G (x2)
[Verse 3]
Em G*** C/G Am Sinking down deep through cold water, heavy silence Em G*** C/G Shadows stirring in the gloom Em G*** C/G Am What things that-lay sleeping down deep in the darkness Em G*** C/G N.C. Woke then to-find-me in that tomb?
[Chorus 2]
C Then with water in my eyes Em Em The words began to rise from their place C They were beautiful and dread; Em Em I reached for them and fed on each phrase Am They were honey on my lips G/B C/G C/G But then a bitter twist in my side Am I knew they'd lay me in my grave G/B (hold) C/G D "Is there no one who can save me?" I cried
[Bridge]
G* And when I lost all hope to look G* Someone took that heavy C/G C/G Book from my hands G* All its weight they set aside G* C/G C/G After they had satisfied its demands Em I felt white and black reverse G** G* C/G C/G And the lifting, a curse from my heart Em Then like one receiving sight D G* C/G D I beheld a brilliant light in the dark
[Outro Vox]
Em D G* C/G C/G (x3)
Em D Bm (hold) C/G (hold)
