C   F   D   G7

[Verse 1]
C                   F
   I, I'll take the quiet
              D
I'll take the winter
                  G7
Oh, I'll take the cold

[Verse 2]
C                       F
   And I, I'll take the forests
              D
I'll take the rivers
                  G7
Oh, I'll take the fields

[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
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 3]
C                 F
Oh, oh my skin is thin now
            D
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
           D7                                   G7
For at the end it's all, it's all, it's all I know
