F#m E C#m F#m
F#m E C#m F#m


[Verse 1]
N.C.
I'm home alone in your flat, bed 
sheets around my head
N.C.
The hum of daytime TV moans like the
 Walking Dead


[Chorus]
N.C.
(Dive into the darkness) and it is 
thick and black
N.C.
(Blooms of phosphorescence) cover my
 throat and back


[Verse 2]
F#m            E             
    A bloom of phosphorescence 
C#m        F#m
ignites around my form
F#m             E            C#m
    Like chalk around a body, 
          F#m
like light inside a storm


[Chorus]
F#m     E               C#m      
(Dive into the darkness) and it 
  F#m
is thick and black
F#m       E                 C#m 
(Coats my tongue and tendons) 
        F#m
covers my throat and back

F#m E C#m F#m
F#m E C#m F#m


[Verse 3]

F#m          E            
   I wade in brackish water, 
   C#m                F#m
eelgrass around my feet
F#m             E                 
   My jeans are wet and dirty, my 
C#m          F#m
body craving sleep


[Hook]
F#m     E               C#m      
(Dive into the darkness) and it 
  F#m
is thick and black
F#m        E             C#m    
(Blooms of phosphorescence) 
     F#m
cover my throat and back

[Verse 4]
F#m            E              
   I paint the walls with 
C#m                   F#m
treacle, pour honey on my phone
F#m          E             C#m  
   I put my best T-shirt on, 
       F#m
wait for you to come home


[Chorus]
F#m     E               C#m      
(Rise into the darkness) and it 
  F#m
is thick and black
F#m        E              C#m   
(Dreams of phosphorescence) 
     F#m
cover my throat and back
F#m     E               C#m      
(Rise into the darkness) and it 
  F#m
is thick and black
F#m        E              C#m   
(Dreams of phosphorescence) 
     F#m
cover my throat and back
