Knees Deep

Intro G G [Verse I] G Watching light through water C I want to bend the way it bends Em D You slice like a knife through the surface C But what a thrill to see it mend Am C With no scar, no memory G Am I’m envious, why pretend I’m not [Verse II] G Wading in up to the ankles C The cold speaks straight to my bones Em D Whole body and soul hesitation C I am a coward turned to stone Am C I stay there for centuries G F Em Am So all of history knows about it [Pre-Chorus] D But hey hey D We made it to the longest day D And the sun, the wind the earth D Are wearing me away Chorus G C The shame! I wish that I was brave enough to dive in Em D But I never have been and never will be C G I’m coming in hot then freezing completely C The shame! I wish that I could say what I’ve been thinking Em D But I never have done and never will do C Still only knees deep, I’ll never be brave like you [Verse III] G Lighten up like a candle C I’m as likely to go out Em D You can sigh from the bottom of your lungs C Until the house gets blown down Am C One step, then two, then three G F Em Am ‘Til I’ve forgotten how to count them [Pre-Chorus] D But hey hey D We made it to the longest day D And the river’s ready current D Can carry me away Chorus G C The shame! I wish that I was brave enough to dive in Em D But I never have been and never will be C G I’m coming in hot then freezing completely C The shame! I wish that I could say what I’ve been thinking Em D But I never have done and never will do C Still only knees deep, I’ll never be brave like you [Instrumental] G C Em D C G C Em D C D Chorus G C The shame! I wish that I was brave enough to dive in Em D But I never have been and never will be C G I’m coming in hot then freezing completely C The shame! I wish that I could say what I’ve been thinking Em D But I never have done and never will do C G Still only knees deep, I’ll never be brave like you
