Words In The Water Chords

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]
