E|-------------------------7--------------| aka Fill 1. Repeat.
It appears there are two guitar parts during the verse (one basically
just picks the single note of the chord being played at a higher octave).
VERSE.
E (7th fret)
I dove into that freezing sea
[Fill 1] E
With a parasite at-tached to me
A (open)
I'd hoped the salt below,
E
would give us what was right a-bove.
But league after

VERSE (basically repeat, just come in on open A chord)
So we froze (so we froze), A while (a while)
Surrounded by one big tear,

The sea made that clear,
By filling us with saline, And sending us

VERSE (repeat with noted variation)
But what remained,
Of the driving intent,
E D# D A (play roots quickly)
That led me to trek,
Such watery depths
Many things have betrayed me,
Between there and here, and my memory is
