Am                            F
It's coming up through the water

And I can't hold you

                  G7
Within these paper hands

                 G7
Well I'm much too weak to stand


[Verse 4]~
   C                       F
And how,.. how the light gets in now

        D
Open the window

                       G7
While I feel it upon my pasty brow


[Chorus 1]~
Am                            F
It's coming up through the water

      Am                                      F
How it got down there well,.. hell,.. I'll never know

Am                            F
Well you better stake your corner

              Am                             F      F/E
And choose your colours carefully as you well know

          D7                                   G7
For at the end it's all,.. it's all,.. it's all I know


[Verse 5]~
C                       F
So what,.. what have I left here..?

           D
What have I built here

                    G7
To stand up when I'm gone..?


[Chorus 2]~
                Am
Oh no,.. not long now

                          F
It’s coming up through the water

          Am                                      F
And how it got down there well,.. hell,.. I'll never know

Am                               F
Well the dogs bark from their corners

      Am                    F     F/E
And the whistle is about to go

For at the end it's all,.. it's all,.. it's all I know
