Introduction: E G#m
E G#m
Is this a mystic deep dark spell
E G#m F#
or a joke to make us come undone and yell
E G#m
another blackness tries again
E G#m
to bend our will behind our backs
F#
and hold us down til' we say
A E G#m C#m
when will this be over when
A E G#m C#m
will we be free in the end
A E G#m C#m
and in the end will the water run clear
G#m B E B
and all the cold disappear into clearwater clear
C#m G#m E B C#m G#m
so deep that we can all come clean
E G#m
is this a madman's time to tell
E G#m F#
to sell a fate that burns our eyes from our lives
well I say
A E G#m C#m
when will this be over when
A E G#m C#m
will we be free in the end
A E G#m C#m
and in the end will the water run clear
G#m B E B
and all the sad disappear into clearwater clear
C#m G#m E B
so deep that we can all come clean
(clearwater clear)
C#m G#m E B
so deep that we can all come clean
(clearwater clear)
C#m G#m E B C#m G#m E
so deep that we can all come clean
