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

G/A A/C D D G/A A/C D D
[Verse 2]
Third time in!
G/A A/C D G/A A/C D G/A A/C D G/A A/C D
I've been baptized by your voice that
G/A A/C D G/A A/C D G/A A/C D G/A A/C D
Screams from deep beneath the cold black water that's
[Pre-Chorus]
G/A A/C D# D
Half as high as heaven
G/A A/C D# D
Half as clear as reason
G/A A/C D# D
Cold and black like silt on the riverbed
G/A A/C D# D
Just as neverending
D A/C# C/E D/F#
Current's mouth below me
D A/C# C/E D/F#
Opens up around me
D A/C# C/E D/F#
Suggests and beckons all while swallowing
E E C A
Surrounds and drowns, and wipes me away
E E C A E E C A
But I'm so comfortable
E E C A
So comfortable
[Chorus]
E E C A
Shut up shut up shut up
E E C A
Shut up you're saturating me
E E C A
How could I let this
E E C A
Happen? Why don't you
E E C A
Kill me? I am weak and
E E C A
Numb and insignificant
E E C A
How could I
E E C G
Let this bring me back to my knees?
