[Intro]

C/G Fmaj7/C
C/G Fmaj7/C

[Verse 1]

  C/G
i am a haunted swimming pool

i am emptied out and drained
   Fmaj7/C
my capacity remains unchanged
  C/G
i am a haunted swimming pool

i am emptied out and drained
   Fmaj7/C
my capacity remains unchanged

        G6/D
i don't know the source of my faith
      Fmaj7/C                    C/G
but i know i will be full again
                      Fmaj7/C
come on in and take a swim

[Verse 2]

C/G
i am a burning church
                                    Fmaj7/C
i am artifice and years collapsing

i am nigh to become all that i’ll be
C/G
i am a burning church
                                    Fmaj7/C
i am artifice and years collapsing

i am nigh to become all that i’ll be

G6/D                               Fmaj7/C            C/G
but when my body has been spent my story will remain

graffiti on a wall for all
             Fmaj7/C
eyes to see

[Outro]

the song that feels like the death of everything
    C/G
the song that feels like the death of everything
                             Fmaj7/C
the song that feels like the death of everything
                                            C/G
the song that feels like the death of everything
