[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
There's a [C]lake that is locked
And frozen
Something has been there
For at least three thousand years
There is a room that is locked
And haunted
Something's been inside
trying to survive.
I've seen traps
Rusting in the street
I've found [Fm]lions in [C]my bath
And [Fm]prowling the rav[C]ines
I've seen ghosts rising
From the snow
And there's still so much

[Verse 2]
That I don't know.
[Dm]
Chorus:
I've seen [C]things that
I [Eb]dare not explain
[Dm]But I tell you I'm fine[C]
I [Eb]just won't be the [Dm]same
I've seen lights [C]in the [Eb]dark
That can be unkind.
[Dm]And it's[C] been this
[Eb]way since 1979.

[Verse 3]
The [Dm]en gineer sa[C]ys there's
nothing below
But cold unyield[Fm]ing [C]ston[Dm]e[C]
But I know there's more
So much more [Bb]than[C][Bb]
[Dm]We c[Bb]an ev[Fm]er se[C]e[Bb][C]
So much more

[Verse 4]
Than we can readily believe.
[Dm]
Chorus:
I've seen [C]things that
I [Eb]dare not explain
[Dm]But I tell you I'm fine[C]
I just [Eb]won't be the [Dm]same
I've seen lights [C]in the [Eb]dark
That can be unkind.
[Dm]And it's been [C]this
[Eb]way since 1979.

[Verse 5]
[Dm]Follow me to the [C]open field tonight.
Follow me to the carnival in white
[Fm]Swim [C]with me in the serpentine rivers
That run beneath [Fm]my
skin.
[C]

[Verse 6]
[Dm]
Chorus:
I've seen [C]things that
I [Eb]dare not explain
[Dm]But I tell you I'm fine[C]
I just [Eb]won't be the [Dm]same
I've seen lights [C]in the [Eb]dark
That can be unkind.
[Dm]And it's been this way since 1979.[C]

[Verse 7]
Follow me to the cold [Eb]slate mine
Follow me [Dm]while we still have
[C]tim[Eb]e.[Dm]
Drown with me in the
Old blue quarry
That [C]swallowed us whole
[Eb]Back [Dm]in se[C]venty- nine.

[Outro 1]
[C]
