G#m        F#            E
   Standing  knee deep in cold water

              G#m       F#
swiftly moving   somehow  I

knew I'd lost something
Interlude: G#m F# E x2 Verse 2:
G#m      F#            E
   Wading  waist deep I saw a book there in 

         G#m       F#                  E
the river   waiting  for me to find it there

   I tried  to read it neck deep treading water

   but the tide  it pulled me out to sea
Chorus 1:
          E
Then with water in my eyes the words

They were beautiful and dread

then a bitter twist in my side

I knew they'd lay me in my grave

"Is there no one who can save me?" I cried

   Sinking down deep

through   cold water

   heavy silence   shadows 

F#          Ebm    F#   E
   stirring in the gloom

G#m           F#
   What things  that lay 

 Ebm    E         C#m
sleeping down deep   in 

            G#m
the darkness   woke then 

F#           Ebm     F#   E
  to find me in that tomb?
Chorus 2:
          E
Then with water in my eyes the words 

                         G#m
began to rise from their place

          E
They were beautiful and dread

                                   G#m

And when I lost all hope to look

        F#/Bb
someone took that heavy 

             E
book from my hands all 

    B
its weight they set aside after 

Ebm           F#         E
they had satisfied its demands

       G#m
I felt white and black reverse

        F#        B             E
and the lifting a curse from my heart

          G#m
Then like one receiving sight

    F#               Ebm          E   F#
I beheld a brilliant light in the dark
