F [F] Am [Am] Em [Em] C Em
F
I knew it was far too late to
Am
Walk out on the lake then
Em
Halfway-to-the-middle thawed
C Em F
I wasn’t doing all that great
[F]
Had I cut my hair short?
Am Em
Had I grown my beard out long?
[Em]
Had I gone to school or...?
C Em Am
Why do all my plans fall through?
Am
There’s a leak in the basement
[Am]
Stupid permanent estrangement
[Am]
Casement windows need glazing
[Am]
Hinges and arms need be replaced
F
All the way at the edge
Am
I said, "I think that we should head back.
Em
What if now the ice cracked?
C Em
I think I felt it bend"
F
We took opposite steps
Am
Tried to even the stress
Em
Picked a safe direction but
C Em
You never know the way the ice thins
Dm
Half-asleep in dreams where
C
Ceilings start collapsing
Am
Free fall through the roof beams
[Am]
Get startled back awake
Dm
Before you hit the pavement
C
Floor of the foundation
Am
Water in the basement
[Am]
Bodies in the lake
F
"Don’t panic," I could hear you
Am
Saying as I fell through
Em C
Blackness complete down
Em F
Waiting till my feet touched ground
[F]
At the bottom, they finally did
Am
First reaction was, "This is it"
Em C
Next thought was, "Just stay calm,
Em Dm
Kick up, and save your phone"
[Dm] C Am [Am]
Dm F
'Cause I wanted to tell you...
Em
And I thought you should know...
Dm
Because I thought it might scare you
F
To see me under the ice
Am
Make you remember you cared for me
[Am]
What would you do if I died?
Dm
Would you fly out for my funeral?
C
Get too drunk at my wake?
Am
Would you make a scene, then
[Am] F
Climb in and try to resuscitate me?
[F] Am C Dm
F Am
I was on the ice and
C Dm
I was underwater
F
I was getting pulled out
[F]
I was in my wet clothes
Dm
Stumble on the walk back
[Dm] Am
Someone stoked the fire at camp
[Am]
I was by the flames
[Am]
Trying to get my body warm
Dm
I was standing naked
[Dm] [Dm]
Checking to see if my phone still worked
[Dm]
I will cut my hair short
[Dm]
Trust me
Am
I will; I will let my beard go
[Am]
Trust me
C
I will; I will never tempt fate
[C]
Not once
G
I swear, I will never trust ice
[G] G7 Am
I will never trust a thing
