Nymphs Finding the Head of Orpheus

Verse:
        Bbm      Gb
In the skeletal remains
     Ab              Gb
Of a pool long since drained
Bbm          Gb
Filled with rain
  Ab         Gb
Reclaimed by nature

Verse:
            Bbm         Gb
Through the     dark, I wade
      Ab           Gb
As if in its Glory days
Bbm                Gb           Ab
Knowing that I’ll make myself sick
         Gb
From the water
        Bbm               Gb
Knowing all my tears and rage
      Ab     Gb
Could load a revolver

Chorus:
Bbm           Gb              Ab             Gb
   I used to think, you must be the water I drink
        Ab               Gb           Bbm
Holding me down in these waters, down beneath
               Gb               Bbm      Gb
Singing to the sound of my screaming
          Gb    Ab
But now I see

Verse:
            Bbm   Gb
In the dark    I wait
                   Ab         Gb
Right here where I    once sunbathed
            Bbm               Gb
With all my dreams unfit for day
            Ab               Gb
With all my tears and all my rage

Chorus:
Bbm           Gb              Ab             Gb
    I used to think, you must be the water I drink
        Ab               Gb           Bbm
Holding me down in these waters, down beneath
               Gb               Bbm
Singing to the sound of my screaming

Bridge:
          Gb                    Ab              Gb
I used to dream of the day it’d be just you and me
              Ab
Like the Wild West
           Gb            Ab                  Bbm
Both of us shooting ’til one of us was dead

Outro:
Gb                  Ab   Gb Ab Bbm
   You cruel, cruel man
