Chords Used:

Intro: (DISCLAIMER: I KNOW THIS IS TAPPED, BEFORE ANYONE TELLS ME IT IS)

I THINK HE HOLDS THE SECOND FRET ON THE B/G STRING, BUT I CANT DO IT, SO

THIS IS THE "PICKED" VERSON!)

Verse 1:

The birds cry their beautiful song

Broken shards of mud beneath its weathered talons

Spring dawns, the freshly plumed phoenix

Spreads its wings and glares at the inviting skyline

Chorus:

Wading through the waters of resilience

I watched you drown in a quandary of ambivalence

The bravest sailors discard doubt to the fathomed big hole

Rise to the surface, to those hopeful shores you know

‘Cause you could not forgive and I cannot forget

So we commit out love to the depths of the great

Verse 2:

Beautiful puzzles under amaranth skies

Hearts with muzzles and a ghostly reprise

I wear no disguise, I wear no cape

I wish to survive, not to escape

Chorus:

Wading through the waters of resilience

I watched you drown in a quandary of ambivalence

The bravest sailors discard doubt to the fathomed big hole

Rise to the surface, to those hopeful shores you know

‘Cause you could not forgive and I cannot forget

So we commit out love to the depths of the great

Hook:

I used to believe only in you

But now my belief resides in me

No more metaphors

No more cryptic wars

C Em D <---HOLD THIS NOTE (then...)

We’ll never again share a quay

Pre Chorus:

Chorus:

Wading through the waters of resilience

I watched you drown in a quandary of ambivalence

The bravest sailors discard doubt to the fathomed big hole

Rise to the surface, to those hopeful shores you know

‘Cause you could not forgive and I cannot forget

So we commit out love to the depths of the great
