Intro: CAmGFC 2x
Verse:
AmGFCAmGFC
We are swimming with the snakes at the bottom of the well
AmGFCAmGFC
So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell
AmGFCAmGFC
But we are not snakes and what?s more we never will be
AmGFCAmGFC
And if we stay swimming here forever we will never be free
GC
I heard ?em ringin? the bells in heaven and hell
GAm
They got a secret they?re gettin ready to tell
FCF
Its fallin? from the skies, callin? from the graves
AmGFC
Open your eyes boy I think we are saved
AmGFC
Open your eyes boy I think we are saved
FC
Let?s take a walk on the Bridge right over this mess
GAm
Don?t need to tell me a thing baby, we?re already confessed
DmCF
And I raise my voice to the air, and we were blessed
FCFC
It's hard to give, It's hard to get
FCGCAmGFCCAmGFC
But everybody needs a little forgiveness
