[Intro]
D C D C
[Vs.1]
D C D
We were there in the woods by the water
D Em
We left our packs up against that willow tree
Em Em
We dove right in, keeping just what we were born with
Em Em7 A
Our memories, our knowledge, and our dreams
D C D
As I swam away from our possessions
D F#7 Bm
I imagined that they were gone forever more
Em Em
And for once I was glad that all I treasured
Em A
Would still be with me as I reached other shore.
G A
So let me dive into the water,
D Bm
Leave behind all that I've worked for
Em A D D7
Except what I remember and believe
Em A D A Bm
And when I stand on the farthest shore
Em A C
I will have all I need
D C D
After the blaze burned our cabin down to ashes
D Em
Where we'd slept warm, now the sky lets in the rain
Em Em
I found the strings, frets and rusted latches
G A
But I will never hear that old guitar again
D C D
These four walls are only in my memory
D Em
Where these stone steps rise to nothing in the air
Em F#7 Bm
So one last look and I'm headed for the river
Em A
To wash my hands and try to say this prayer
G A
Let me dive into the water,
D Bm
Leave behind all that I've worked for
Em A D D7
Except what I remember and believe
Em A D A Bm
And when I stand on the farthest shore
Em A D
I will have all I need
Em F#7
When my time to live this life is over
G A
I'll tip my hat when I think about that swim
Bm C
And of all the things that make a life worth living
Em A
That only come to those who dive right in
G A
So let me dive into the water,
D Bm
Leave behind all that I've worked for
Em A D D7
Except what I remember and believe
Em A D A Bm
And when I stand on the farthest shore
Em A C
I will have all I need
All I need
Let me dive into the water
It's all I need
