Intro Bm  E Em Bm F#m G A D F#m Bm

Bm                              E
Chains stredge the great lake around you
Em          Bm        F#m          G
Pull you along by the knots in your hair
A           D          F#m     Bm
It's just like you'd never been there.
Bm                            E
Cold tooth and ice scattered islands,
Em          Bm        F#m            G
Faithfully facing the warmth of the sun.
A    D      F#m        Bm
All to the quickening dawn.

Em    F#m      G           A
Fever on the thorough-way brow
     Bm    C        G  A
The sober scent of paper.
Em        F#m       G           A
Teething cries in what the rain hides
     Bm    C        Bb    A
Where not enough to save you.
Em    F#m      G           A
oh    oh       oh         oh oh oh   (x2)

Bm   E    Em  Bm F#m G  A  D F#m Bm
(instrumental with flute)

Bm                        E
Faith is a race from the silence
Em          Bm          F#m            G
Widens and swallows you head first and whole
A        D          F#m     Bm
Fight through the whitening bones
Bm                                  E
Secede while you can while you're able
Em          Bm        F#m          G
Sorrow may tap at the root of your song
A        D       F#m     Bm
Light sparks the opening bomb

Em    F#m      G           A
Fever on the thorough-way brow ... ooh  oooh(x2)

Bm
Every ache is dissolved in the brine
Bm                                  E
And the waves from the bay and then rise
        Em           Bm          F#m       G
But the shark ridden garden will run dry again.
 
Em    F#m      G           A
oh    oh       oh         oh oh oh   (x3)
Bm
