Opening: Riff 1 x3

Riff 2
drifting away from you
spinning down to the pinpoint drop of isolation
in a spell
walking away from the fire
that keeps my heart
from turning ice



Riff 3
golden feet grace the surface of the sea
sinking deeper i view them from underneath
flailing, kicking as i head for the deep
i question a hypothetical lead supper
oh God receive my outstretched hand
Riff 2
will i inhale the blue
spinning down upon the glass
a ghost towards realization of a cell
enclosing the hauntings of a past
that blind the eyes
and rust the heart



Amin
so i fell
i need you to take my hand
Riff 1
and keep my heart from ice...



Fmaj7
Flailing Kicking as I head for the deep
It's not exact, transcription wise, but it's close. Listen to the song on the CD, so you can get an idea on what I put up here.
