[Em] [Bm] [A] [G]
[Bm] [A] [Bm] [G]
[Bm] [A] Perfect water, [G] but dark when rain's away,
[D] Break the grave, [C] the tree.
[A] [Bm] Is this our destiny?
[E] To join [A] our [E] hands as we
Hands slowly sink, hands slowly break.
[G] This is perfect water, passing on.
[Em] [Bm] [A] [G]
[Em] [Bm] [A] [G]
[Bm] [A] Do you know John Snow?
[G]
[Em] Well, it said [G] on the radio [D] that he'd never [C] found him.
[A] [B]
Deep beneath the perfect water,
[E] No!
[A] [E]
[Bm] [E] But still so inviting
To drown, drown [Bm] inside [E] a sound.
So far underground,
The faint, and the faint, and [Bm] the faint.
[G]
This is perfect water, passing on.
[A]
[B] To [C#m] [B] [C#m]
flow [C#m] inside the spiral of time,
[B] To drown [C#m] my eyes like a [B] crying, [B] dying loss.
The third [C#m] one on [A] my mind,
[B] [C#m]
[B] He [C#m] waits for me like a god,
A [B] life [C#m] [A]
[B] [C#m] of breath,
[B] [C#m] A string that's perfect for [B] him.
A life [C#m] of breath,
[B] A [C#m] string that's perfect for [B] him.
[C#m] [F#m] [C#m] [F#m]
[B] [C#m] [A] [C#m] [G]
[Bm] [A] Perfect water,
[G] I dream this dream with my feet [D] and [C] water.
[E] Those feet wear two locks of ice,
Melt into my hands like dice.
And I roll, seven, seven on the floor to see.
And I roll, seven, seven on the floor to see.
Seven, [Bm] [G] and I feel the perfect water,
Wash it all away.
[A] [G]
[B] To flow [C#m] inside the spiral [A] of time,
To drown [C#m] my eyes like a crying, [B] dying loss.
[C#m] The third one on my mind,
[F#] [C#m] [B] He waits [C#m] for me like a god,
[F#m]
[C#m] [A] [B] A [C#m] life of breath,
[F#m] A [B] [C#m] string that's perfect [A] for [B] him.
[C#m] A life of [B] breath,
[C#m] A string that's perfect [A] for [B] him.
A life [C#m] of breath,
[B] A string [C#m] that's perfect for him.
