[Verse 1]
E
What a way, what a way to go
Bm
What a fine and inexplicable way of going, this
A
What an uncanny visitation
A
Taking me into the depths
E B
And leaving me stranded
[Verse 2]
E
What a way, what a way to go
Bm
What a peculiar and exquisite way of going, this
A
I've been ready I've been willing all along and all the way down I go
A
And you will never know
E
Just how far down I let you
B
And it's all the way I go
[Chorus]
D
Just to look at you
F#m E
One last look is all I take before I have to go
Bm
Just to look at you
F#m
Like an effigy of salt
E
I'm swept away, I sparkle forth
B
In diamond rays I fall forever
D
Just to look at you
C B Am E B
Then it’s down, down, down I go
[Verse 3]
E
I hate the things I know
E Bm
I wish I could retrace my steps before I went down to the sea
Bm A
Where I crept along the depths and prodded underneath
A
All along and far too deep
E
At every creature, every foundling
B
Every horrid gaping mouth
[Chorus]
D
Just to look at you
F#m E
One last look is all I take before I have to go
Bm
Just to look at you
F#m
When the lexicon is emptied out
E
Of every thought and every breath
B
There is no language left
D
But just to look at you
C B Am E
And it's down, down, down I go
[Instrumental]
Bm
Oh Oh Oh Oh
F
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Dm B
Oh Oh
[Verse 4]
E
My beloved, my curse
Bm
How you've ripped me open and you've heaped upon my hurt
A
And the many things that you have required of me
A
How they frighten and inspire me
E
The arch of your brow
B
And the way everything is laid out
[Chorus]
D
Just to look at you
F#m E
One last look is all I take before I have to go
Bm
Just to look at you
F#m E
The honey of your skin, the heart shape of your mouth
B
Oh, there I go again, I'll leave it out
D
Just let me look at you
C B Am E
And it's down, down, down I go (Down, down, down I go)
