[Intro]
Gmaj7
[Verse 1]
G Em
Lay me down in the sand
C D
So the ocean laps at my feet
G E
And the salt corrodes me to bone
C Cm
And pulls me into the sea
G Em
I'd sink into the blue
C D
And sift between the teeth
G E
Of the creatures dwelling below
C Cm
And what's left will rest beneath
[Chorus]
G F E C Cm
Oh let me down so peacefully
G F E C D
Oh I will sink so heavy, so free
G F7 E C Cm
And the lines will blur until all I see
G D G Bm
Is what's left here underneath
[Instrumental]
G Bm G Bm G Bm
[Verse 2]
G Bm
Subterranean man
C D
Of bones and fading skin
G E
While the world just passes me by
Am Am Bm C D
I can spend my days learning to swim
G Em
Again, the muscles can stim
C D
From what seems obsolete
G E
And someday I'll swim to the shore
Am Am Bm C D
And I'll find my way, back on my feet
[Chorus]
G F E
And the world will be
C Cm
So bright
G F E
Like a plight upon,
C D
My burning eyes
G F7 E C Cm
And the air will fill my newborn lungs
G D G
And I'll find a new song to hum.
D Am D Am
C Em C Em
D C F D
[Chorus]
G F E
Oh and the world moves on
C Cm
So why can't we
G F E
We could shed our skin
C D
A sweet release
G F7 E C Cm
Oh I can't wait to be undone
G D G Bm
So I can start again.
[Outro]
G Bm G Bm G Bm
