Bbm                Gb
Prepare the diving bell
Db                     Ab
It's time to take this low again
Bbm         Gb      Db
I sink into myself, low

No need for a farewell
Ab
I know you always understand


[Verse 1]
Ebm                              Db
Sorry there's no place for youu inside the solitude
Bbm
Just stay up here until I'm back again
Ebm
I swear I'll be there for you
Db
I swear I'll follow through
Ab
Stay the course and keep the ship manned


[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gb                 Ebm
I was certain if I fell through the bottom
Db                     Gb
You'd be happy just to float here on your own
Gb                   Ebm                      Db
I was never quite prepared for the long ride, oh

Away, away, away, alone


[Chorus]
Gb              Ebm
Oh, this wasn't in my plans
Db                 B
Abandoned ship and headed for the sand
Gb                Ebm
Oh, the albatross crash-lands
Gbm                          B            Db     Gb
I've got the sinking feeling that I never can go home

Gb
If I stare into the abyss
Gb
Will it stare into me?
Gb
If I stare into the abyss
Gb
Will it stare into me?
Gb
If I stare into the abyss
Gb
Will it stare into me?
Gb
If I stare into the abyss
Gb
Will it stare into me?


[Verse 2]
Gbm                Bbm
Prepare the diving bell
Gb               Bbm
Maybe just for a spell, again
Gb              Bbm
As far as I can tell
Gb
Oh, you knew me too well
Bbm
I miss you there when I descend


[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ebm                              Db
Sorry, there's no place for you inside the solitude
Bbm
Just stay up here until I'm back again


[Chorus]
Gb              Ebm
Oh, this wasn't in my plans
Db                 B
Abandoned ship and headed for the sand
Gb                Ebm
Oh, the albatross crash-lands
Gbm                          B            Db     Gb
I've got the sinking feeling that I never can go home

Gb
If I stare into the abyss
Gb
Will it stare into me?
Gb
If I stare into the abyss
Gb
Will it stare into me?
Gb
If I stare into the abyss
Gb
Will it stare into me?
Gb
If I stare into the abyss
Gb
Will it stare into me?


[Bridge]
Ebm         Db
In my mind, endless sea
Db                           Gb             B
Calling from the bottom, but you don't hear me
Ebm            Db
Send your line down to me
Db
Meet me on the surface
N.C
I will never leave

B           Bb
In my mind, endless sea
Ebm                             Db
Calling from the bottom but you don't hear me
B              Bb
Send your line down to me
Ebm
Meet me on the surface
Db
I will never leave

B              Bb
Just one time, all I need
Ebm                             Db
Calling from the bottom but you don't hear me
B              Bbm
Stuck in time, stuck in me
Ebm                        Db    N.C
Broken on the bottom like a refu-gee
