Thrice is an amazing band and Dustin Kensrue is a brilliant singer. His acoustic version is very simple,
but he adds unique flares, to add to his already remarkable voice in lieu to chords,
that only he can pull off. I added minor changes to the outro. I hope you enjoy this tab.

[Intro]
Em G*** C/G C/G (x2)
[Verse 1]
Em G*** C/G C/G
Standing knee deep in cold water, swiftly moving
Em G*** C/G
Somehow, I-knew I'd-lost something oohh...
[Interlude]
Em G*** C/G C/G (x2)
[Verse 2]
Em G*** C/G C/G
Wading waist deep I saw a book there in the river
Em G*** C/G C/G
Waiting for-me to-find it there
Em G*** C/G C/G
I tried to read it neck deep treading water
Em G*** C/G N.C.
but-the tide it-pulled-me out to sea
[Chorus 1]
Then with Cwater in my eyes
The words began to rise from their EmplaceEm
They were Cbeautiful and dread;
I reached for them and fed on each EmphrasEme
They were Amhoney on my lips
but then a bitter G/Btwist in my C/Gside C/G
I knew they'd Amlay me in my grave
G/B (hold) C/G C/G
"Is there no one who can save me?" I cried
[Interlude with Vox]
Em D G* C/G C/G (x2)
[Verse 3]
Em G*** C/G Am
Sinking down deep through cold water, heavy silence
Em G*** C/G
Shadows stirring in the gloom
Em G*** C/G Am
What things that-lay sleeping down deep in the darkness
Em G*** C/G N.C.
Woke then to-find-me in that tomb?
[Chorus 2]
Then with Cwater in my eyes
The words began to rise from their Emplace Em
They were Cbeautiful and dread;
I reached for them and fed on each EmphraseEm
They were Amhoney on my lips
But then a bitter G/Btwist in my C/Gside C/G
I knew they'd Amlay me in my grave
G/B (hold) C/G D
"Is there no one who can save me?" I cried
[Bridge]
And when I G*lost all hope to look
Someone G*took that heavy
Book from my C/Ghands C/G
All its G*weight they set aside
After G*they had satisfied its demC/Gands C/G
I felt Emwhite and black reverse
G** G* C/G C/G
And the lifting, a curse from my heart
Then like Emone receiving sight
I beDheld a brilliant G*light in the C/Gdark D
[Outro Vox]
Em D G* C/G C/G (x3)
Em D Bm (hold) C/G (hold)
