High Water

[Verse 1]
        Am
For the time being
             Em
I will still avoid my own questions
            C
And we both bury that history deep
             G
But you know I can hold my breath forever
        Am
For the time being
                Em
You are still a perfect reminder of what
             C
All of these scars on my arms are for
         G
If I can hold myself together
 
 
[Chorus]
      Dm
And I choke myself on sacred vapour
Am
Waiting on some holy favour
C                        G
Basking in the solace of regret
       Dm
And it seems my hell is your high water
Am
Wash me clean again
         C                       G
Before I pull myself beneath the waves
 
 
[Verse 2]
         Am
When thе mouth of infinity
Em
Buries its teeth in me
     C                           G
I'll smile through thе agony for you
      Am
And I know you still bear the weight
   Em
of your own existence
           C                        G
And you'll never bear the weight of two
 
 
[Chorus]
      Dm
And I choke myself on sacred vapour
Am
Waiting on some holy favour
C                        G
Basking in the solace of regret
       Dm
And it seems my hell is your high water
Am
Wash me clean again
         C                       G
Before I pull myself beneath the waves
 
 
[Bridge]
        Am
For the time being
       Em
I will admit my defeat again
       C
I will accept that I can't pretend
        G
We will ever be together
