Take     a    look     in   the pool and what do you see
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pick strings lightly-------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------

In   the   dark     depths there faces   beckoning   me
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------

Can't   you   see   them   it's plain for  all  to  see
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------

They   we're   there     oh   I know you don't believe me
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------

    Oh I've never felt so strange      but I'm not going insane
--5----------------------------------5--------------------------------------
--5----------------------------------5--------------------------------------
--3----------------------------------3--------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've   no   doubt   that    you think I'm off of my head
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pick strings hard----------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------

You   don't   say   but    it's in your  eyes   instead
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------

Hours   I   spend   out    just gazing into  that  pool
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------

Something   draws   me  there I don't know what  to  do
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------

    Oh they drain my strength away     Oh they're asking me to stay 
--5----------------------------------5--------------------------------------
--5----------------------------------5--------------------------------------
--3----------------------------------3--------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nightmares                   spirits calling  me  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-----3---2-3-2-5-3-2----0-0-0-----3--2-3-2----------------------------
------1-1-----------------3--------1-1-----------3--------------------------

Nightmares                   they won't leave me be 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-----3---2-3-2-5-3-2----0-0-0-----3--2-3-2----------------------------
------1-1-----------------3--------1-1-----------3--------------------------

All   my   life's   blood    is slowly  draining   away
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------

And   I    feel      that   I'm weaker         everyday
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------

Somehow      I      know      I haven't   long   to  go
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------

Joining     them     at     the bottom   of  the   pool
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------

    Now I feel they are so near        I begin to see them clear

--------------------------------1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------

Hand   in   hand   then   we'll jump right into the pool
