Capo II
D
I get into the car, drive away from the life
G
Suddenly certain she won't be my wife
D A
And the jewelry I give her remains in the bottom of a drawer
D
In some room I won't enter with it's cold un-christened floor
G
And the man she is leaving, he stands by the door
D A
Weepin' at words "hey brother" she said them before
G Bm
So I go to the water, it is time that I need
D A
Oh my heart wears a fancy dress, burst at the seams
G Bm A G
All that had mattered and all that I've seen
D A D
diving into the great lakes of love
D
It was foolish resistance I heard in the distance
G
the drums of the band they were beating persistently
D A
letting me know it's nothing but time to move on
D D7
Perhaps I'll see her around, hair up, top down
D
And I could watch silently, making no sound
A D
It would soften the blow, to leave without saying hello
G Bm
So I go to the water, it is time that I need
D A
Love is nothing, love is everything, its never in-between
G Bm A G
All that had mattered and all that I've seen
D A D
diving into the great lakes of love
Em Bm D C G
The willow will bend and the wind it will bellow, straight, straight to the shore
Em Bm D
The lake is deception she waits in the shadows
D C G D C G
swim, swim, out for more I swim, swim, out for more
G Bm
So I go to the water, it is time that I need
D A
Oh my heart wears a fancy dress, burst at the seams
G Bm A G
All that had mattered and all that I've seen
D A Bm A G
diving into the great lakes of love
D A G Em D
falling into the great lakes of love
