Beneath Water by Mike Mains And The Branches

--------------------Mike Mains and the Branches-------------
--------------------Beneath Water---------------------------

Really great song by a great band. 

Standard Tuning

Verse 1 and Chorus 1 I usually play palm muted, as well as the second half of the bridge. 
Notice that the chords are slightly different in the final chorus.


------------Verse 1------------

Em   
So scratch away the sand stuck in your ears
D
Water all the crops with showers of tears
Em
Tell all those baby's mothers they don't need no fear
D
'Cause God's got their hearts in his hands
Em
And we'll ask all of the painters if they dressed in white
D
To walk around the streets, in the dead of the night
Em
Dance like guests at a wedding underneath the lights
D
Look at the buildings and say "I touched that"



----------Pre-Chorus----------

C                         D    Bm
Oh we always wanna brag...
C                         D    Bm
Oh we always wanna brag...



------------Chorus------------

Em
So just hold me, underneath the water 'till the 
D
Old me, dies and slips out of this
Em
Body, Rip him out of my body
C    D
And make me new again



------------Verse 2------------

Em
Well maybe I'm the writer that will spark that flame
D
That makes the world believe in the right kind of faith
Em
But perhaps, I need to get these feet off stage
D
And find a smaller pair of shoes to fill
Em
What I know is that my father's only son said
D
"There'll be time for sleep when the work is done"
Em
Keep your pedal to the floor until the race is won
D
What if the race is not a race at all
C                       D    Bm
Don't you crash into a tree?
C                       D    Bm
Don't you crash into a tree...



------------Chorus------------    x 2

Em
So just hold me, underneath the water 'till the 
D
Old me, dies and slips out of this
Bm                       
Body, Rip him out of my body
C    D
And make me new again



------------Bridge------------

Em
He spoke his words to me like well driven nails
D
They sank like wind to rain to my rusty sails
Bm
The sailor's hands took flight and hung in the sky
C                         D
Below a celebration that land's in sight
Em
My heart puffs with pride, as I'm defined 
D
In the center of the room filled with all your eyes
Bm
Leading me to believe that I'm so fresh and revised
C                                    D
But God I'm nothing if I don't have you...

Em          
I'm nothing (I AM)
D
I'm nothing (I'M NOT A THING)
Bm            C         D
I'm nothing (I AM!)
Em 
I met my brother in a hallway
D
Said he loved Jesus and I said "I think I do too"
Bm
I met my brother in a hallway
C                      D
I met my brother in a hallway


------------Chorus------------    x 2

G
And said hold me, underneath the water 'till the 
D
Old me, dies and slips out of this
Em                      
Body, Rip him out of my body
C     D
And make me new again




Enjoy! :)
