Verse 1:
The long awaited rains have [D]fallen hard upon the thirsty g[Cmaj7]round
They've carved their way to where the wi[D]ld and rushing river can be f[Cmaj7]ound
And like the rain, I have been [D]carried here
To where the river f[E]lows yeah[A2][G][Cmaj7]
My heart is racing and my [D]knees are weak as walk to the [Cmaj7]edge
I know there is no turning bac[D]k once my feet have left the l[Cmaj7]edge
And in the rush I hear a vo[D]ice that's telling me it time to t[Cmaj7]ake the leap of faith
So h[Bsus]ere I go
In the chorus, the E-B-C#m7 are all played for a 1/2 measure, but the A-B are played for
1/4 measure each. At the end of the chorus, the E is played for 1 1/2 measures, the A2
for a 1/2 measure, the E for 1 1/2 measures, the A2 for a 1/2 measure, the A for a 1/4
measure, the G for a 1/4 measure, the E for a 1/2 measure, the A for a 1/2 measure, the G
for a 1/2 measure, and the Cmaj7 starts the next verse and is played for a whole
measure. The last A and G chords are played in 2/4 time, so even though they are played for a
1/2 measure each, they are equal to a 1/4 measure compared to the rest of the chords in the song.
Chorus:
[E] I'm diving in[B] I'm going de[C#m7]ep
In over my h[A]ead I w[B]anna be
[E] Caught in the rus[B]h lost in the f[C#m7]low
In over my he[A]ad I w[B]anna go
[E] The river's dee[B]p the river's wide
[C#m7]The river's w[A]ater [B]is alive
[Cadd9] So sink or s[D2]wim I'm diving [E]in[A2][E][A2][A][G][E][A][G][Cmaj7]
Verse 2:
[Cmaj7]There is a supernatural [D]power in this mighty river's f[Cmaj7]low
It can bring the dead to li[D]fe and it can fill an empty s[Cmaj7]oul
And give our heart the only [D]thing worth living and worth d[E]ying for yeah[A2][G][Cmaj7]
[Cmaj7]But we will never the awe[D]some power of the grace of G[Cmaj7]od
Until we let ourselves get [D]swept away into this holy fl[Cmaj7]ood
So if you take my hand we'll clo[D]se our eyes and count to three
And t[Cmaj7]ake the leap of faith come [Bsus]on let's go!
