[Intro]
Am F C Asus
[Verse 1]
Am F
We are kneeling at the rivers edge and tempting
C Asus
All the steps to follow closer right behind
Am F
Is it only when you feel a part is empty
C Asus
That it’s gnawing at the corners of your mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F
I will ask you for mercy
C Asus
I will come to you blind
Am F
What you’ll see is the worst me
C Asus
Not the last of my kind
[Chorus]
Am F
Oooo—o—oh
C Asus
In the muddy water we’re falling
Am F
Oooo—o—oh
C Asus
In the muddy water we’re crawling
Am F
Holds me down
C Asus
Hold me now
Am F
Sold me out
C Asus
In the muddy waters we’re falling
[Verse 2]
Am F
It is not clear why we choose the fire pathway
C Asus
Where we end is not the way that we had planned
Am F
All the spirits gather 'round like its our last day
C Asus
To get across you know we’ll have to raise the sand
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F
Oooh, I will ask you for mercy
C Asus
I will come to you blind
Am F
What you’ll see is the worst me
C Asus
I'm not the last of my kind
[Chorus]
Am F
Oooo—o—oh
C Asus
In the muddy water we’re falling
Am F
Oooo—o—oh
C Asus
In the muddy water we’re crawling
Am F
Holds me down
C Asus
Hold me now
Am F
Sold me out
C Asus
In the muddy waters we’re falling
[Bridge]
Am
Ooooh
F
Don’t fail me now
C Asus
Put your arms around me and pull me out
Am
Ooooh
F
I know I’m found
C Asus
With your arms around me, oh save me now
[Chorus]
Am F
Oooo—o—oh
C Asus
In the muddy water we’re falling
Am F
Oooo—o—oh
C Asus
In the muddy water we’re crawling
Am F
Holds me down
C Asus
Hold me now
Am F
Sold me out
C Asus
In the muddy waters we’re falling
