[Intro]
(G#m E B C#m) x4
[Verse]
       G#m                              E 
We are kneeling at the river's edge and tempting 
       B                              C#m 
All the steps to follow closer right behind 
       G#m                              E 
Is it only when you feel a part is empty 
       B                              C#m 
That it’s gnawing at the corners of your mind
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m         E 
    I will ask you for mercy 
B          C#m 
    I will come to you blind 
G#m              E 
    What you’ll see is the worst me 
B           C#m 
    Not the last of my kind
[Chorus]
G#m   E 
Oooo—o—oh 
B                       C#m 
In the muddy water we’re falling 
G#m   E 
Oooo—o—oh 
B                       C#m 
In the muddy water we’re crawling 
G#m       E 
Holds me down 
B        C#m 
Hold me now 
G#m       E 
Sold me out 
B                       C#m 
In the muddy waters we’re falling
[Instrumental]
(G#m E B C#m) x2
[Verse]
      G#m                              E 
It is not clear why we choose the fire pathway 
         B                              C#m 
Where we end is not the way that we had planned 
        G#m                                E 
All the spirits gather 'round like it's our last day 
       B                                      C#m 
To get across you know we’ll have to raise the sand
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m           E 
    Oooh, I will ask you for mercy 
B          C#m 
    I will come to you blind 
G#m              E 
    What you’ll see is the worst me 
B               C#m 
    I'm not the last of my kind
[Chorus]
G#m   E 
Oooo—o—oh 
B                       C#m 
In the muddy water we’re falling 
G#m   E 
Oooo—o—oh 
B                       C#m 
In the muddy water we’re crawling 
G#m       E 
Holds me down 
B        C#m 
Hold me now 
G#m       E 
Sold me out 
B                       C#m 
In the muddy waters we’re falling
[Bridge]
G#m      E 
Ooooh, Don’t fail me now 
         B                  C#m 
Put your arms around me and pull me out 
G#m       E 
Ooooh, I know I’m found 
          B                 C#m 
With your arms around me, oh save me now
[Instrumental]
(G#m E B C#m) x2
[Chorus]
G#m   E 
Oooo—o—oh 
B                       C#m 
In the muddy water we’re falling 
G#m   E 
Oooo—o—oh 
B                       C#m 
In the muddy water we’re crawling 
G#m       E 
Holds me down 
B        C#m 
Hold me now 
G#m       E 
Sold me out 
B                       C#m 
In the muddy waters we’re falling
