To where you want to be
Cm      F                          Cm
You (you) have always waded in the shallows

Between me and the deep blue sea

You never want this to be over

While you sleep in earthly delight

Someone's flesh is rotting tonight

Like no other to you

What you've done you cannot undo

Than you have known

I (I) I am riding in the shadows

Behind you on a pale white horse

Someone's flesh is rotting tonight

Like no other to you

What you've done you cannot undo

While you sleep in earthly delight
            Eb                    Gm
Still, your soul will suffer this plight

Like your father in hell

What you've sold you cannot unsell

Like no other to you
