Chorus
 G                             D
There's an anchor around my heart
              F
Dragging me down
   C
Beneath the waves in silence I fall
 G                        D 
There's a halo above my head
               F
Spinning me round
    C                                G  
Cause I don't know if I'm alive or dead
                 D 
A dagger in my hand
             F
Bleeding me dry

There are some small parts where a guitar is using a slide in the intro and in
the rest of the song, but I think that with this is just enough.

Thanks and make sure you post your opinion or correction on this tab.

	GCrocks - I have that song downloaded on my computer. It's a great remake of the Doors original. I love this song and all the other songs from Oleander. This is a great band!!! Oh....and shibby1669 - I have part of Bruise downloaded on my computer as well. When I get it completely downloaded, I can send it to you if you would like.

	i love this song. it reminds me of a deleted scene in american pie 2. if u get the DVD you'll know what im talking about.

No Picture silent Rhythm Player	#11 by silent support at Jun 28, 1999 at 7:30 AM EST
	I think this song is about a man mulling over suicide. I think he trying to think over the existential question and not the practical questions of such an action. He's a saint but he constricted by a heavy heart and he believes suicide is the only way out.

No Picture lewi Wanna Be	#12 by lewi broadway at Nov 23, 2005 at 2:49 AM EST
	It is about not stressing about the little things... Sometimes things don't pan out the way you want them too, other times stuff you thought was horrible ends up turning for the better. I agree somewhat with OpinionHead and that it could be about suicide, but I don't think that it is necessarly that far. Could just be about someone who had a run of bad luck and they are really down. I think that the last lines of the song kind of piece together the two extremes: And all we have to lose is time And what lose we leave behind Stay around and we will shine Keep trying and eventually things will turn out for the better, you might not ever figure out why and you might lose something along the way, but eventually you will gain more then you lose if you keep at it. Great song.

No Picture Sam Average	#13 by Sam at Aug 12, 2006 at 6:47 AM EST
	I knwo this off topic, but what is the fucking song they play during the credits. This time its gonna be the alst time. I can't find it anyhere, but this song is still good.

No Picture steven Lead Player	#14 by steven ratliff at Apr 5, 2007 at 1:40 AM EST
	I agree with emopunkgirl22... i think it's about loving somebody, who don't know you are there or don't love yot the way you love him/her. But i doesn't matter, because you are always going to be there even if it kills you... I first heard the song and didn't like it that much, but after i knew the lyrics, i loved it!
