Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
Two times in
ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I've been struck dumb by a voice that
ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Speaks from deep beneath peerless water that's
Pre-Chorus
ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Twice as clear as heaven
ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Twice as loud as reason
ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Deep and rich like silt on a riverbed
ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Just as neverending
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch
Current's mouth below me
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch
Opens up around me
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch
Suggests and beckons all while swallowing
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Surrounds and drowns, and wipes me away
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But I'm so comfortable
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
So comfortable
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Shut up shut up shut up
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Shut up you're saturating me
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
How could I
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Let this bring me back to my knees?

I've been baptized by your voice that
ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Screams from deep beneath the cold black water that's
Pre-Chorus
ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Half as high as heaven
ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Half as clear as reason
ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Cold and black like silt on the riverbed
ch]G/A[/ch] [ch]A/C[/ch] [ch]D#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Just as neverending
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch
Current's mouth below me
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch
Opens up around me
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch
Suggests and beckons all while swallowing
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Surrounds and drowns, and wipes me away
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But I'm so comfortable
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch

ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Shut up shut up shut up
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Shut up you're saturating me
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
How could I let this
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Happen? Why don't you
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Kill me? I am weak and
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Numb and insignificant
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
How could I
ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Let this bring me back to my knees?
