        Am          G         C
I need nothing to travel the sea
  Dm   Fmaj7  Em       Fmaj7   C
I need nothing, I need nothing
             Am        G         C Dm
But there's something eating at me
     Fmaj7 Em    Fmaj7 Dm
Black water, take over

Chorus:
  C                              Fmaj7
Swallowed by a vicious, vengeful sea
Oh whoa ooh oh oh
 Am                     Fmaj7
Darker days are raining over me
Oh whoa ooh oh oh
C                             Fmaj7
In the deepest depths I lost myself
   Am                        Fmaj7
I see myself through someone else

The strange silence surrounding me
Grows closer, feels colder
But I'm ready to suffer the sea
Black water, take over

Chorus - x3
