This is a basic idea of the tab for this song. Nick Talbot of course puts in awesome
bits that you'll just have to miss out or make up!
The bass note plays regularly all the way through (this should make it easier to work
Have fun!

... Nick does some melody over the top. I tend to improvise this bit using these intervals:
|--0--2--3--5--7---8--10--12--14--15--||
|--0--3--5--7--8--10--12--12--15--17--||

... and then I end it with an E minor chord.
LYRICS:
Verse 1
i'm getting deeper and i'm still swimming
it hits me again
it's getting darker and i'm still swimming
it hits me again
and i am never frightened no i am never afraid
and you will never understand the depths i sink to light your way
Chorus
see, left behind on my own
i have the ghosts of autumn murders walk me home
see the girl on the shore
my ideal, nothing more
Verse 2
it's getting darker and i'm still swimming
it hits me again
the sun is sinking palebluesaltwaterbreathing
it hits me again
and i am never frightened no i am never ashamed
and you will never understand the lengths i go to light your way
Chorus
Peace,
Lukewa
