[Intro]
Bb A

[Verse 1]
Bb
The thought of you possesses me
Dm                       Bb
You're the dweller of my mind
Bb                    Gm       F
Where you are utterly and vividly alive
Bb
I called upon Lethe the spirit of forgetfulness
Dm             Bb
I implored her deeply
Bb
To erase my memory
Gm                            F
She said "Be careful what you wish for, deary"

[Chorus]
Gm                   F
"Those waters aren't meant for the living
    Dm                    C
For all you know, I could be a trickster
Gm            F
Merciless and unforgiving
  Dm           C
I might not be your well-wisher"

[Interlude]
Bb  A

[Verse 2]
Bb
Lethe decided to help me
              Dm
The spirit of oblivion
Dm
She took me to the underworld
Bb
Among the souls of the dead
        Gm
Where I drank from the river
   F
To help me forget

[Chorus]
Gm                    F
"Those waters aren't meant for the living
    Dm                    C
For all you know, I could be a trickster
Gm            F
Merciless and unforgiving
  Dm                C
I might not be your well-wisher"

[Interlude]
Gm F Dm C
Bb A Dm C

[Bridge]
F
And I forgot it all
Am/C          A/C#
Yet I still remember you
Dm        C   F
I've got no remembrance of who I am
Gm     F
Oh, I forgot it all
C           A/C#
Yet I still remember you
Dm       C/E  F            Gm
I've got no remembrance of who I am
A
Yet I still know you through and through

Bm                   A
Those waters aren't meant for the living

I made a desperate deal with a trickster

A misleading voice, with a truthful whisper
