I don't think this is exactly "right" but I quite like the way it sounds when

I play this song by myself.

Note: With two singers the second half of the bridge is sung as a canon, with

one voice repeating the first

half of the bridge verbatim and then the second voice comes in with the same

part four counts later, if that

makes sense. Just listen to the album version to figure out the timing :)

[Verse 1]
Bm D
It’s not until now that I realise
Bm D
The injuries left hidden inside
G
And how scared I was that you’d be repulsed by this body of mine
Bm D
That you’d cower away and you’d freak out
Bm D
When all the worst parts of me leaked out
G D
Of my nose and my mouth, every pore of my skin and my ears and my eyes.

[Pre-Chorus]
Em D Bm G
And I told you my weak breathing was just anxiety breath
Bm A D
Scared of the forbidden, being left alone with the worst thoughts running
G
wild inside my head

[Chorus]
D
Cast my memory back
G
Slowly draw in the net
D Bm G
Throw myself right into the current, will I float?
D
What a time we did have
G
When we weren’t thinking so hard
D Bm G
Well I guess it’s a comfort we’ve emptied our pockets of stones

[Verse 2]
Bm D
With the flesh inside me crawling
Bm D
And the lungs in my chest still heaving
G
I’ll try to untangle this mess that I’ve mangled and order it into a line
Bm D
But sometimes plain-speaking can’t do justice
