[D] [C] [D] [C] We were [D]there in the [C]woods by the [D]water
We left our [D]packs up against that willow [Em]tree
We dove right [Em]in, keeping just what we were born [Em7]with:
(all) Our [Em]Memories, Knowledge and [A]Dreams
[D]As I swam a[C]way from our [D]possessions
I [D]imagined that they were gone [Em]forever more
And for [Em]once I was glad that[F#m] all I t[Bm]reasured
Would still be [Em]with me as I reached other [A]shore. So...
Chorus
[G]Let me dive into the [A]water,
leave be[D]hind all that I've [Bm]worked for
Exc[Em]ept what I reme[A]mber and bel[D]ieve
and [Em]when I [A]stand on the [D]farthest [Bm]shore
[Em]I will have [A]all I [C]need
After the blaze burned our cabin down to ashes
Where we'd slept warm, now the sky lets in the rain
I found the strings, frets and rusted latches
But I will never hear that old guitar again
These four walls are only in my memory
Where these stone steps rise to nothing in the air
So one last look and I'm headed for the river
To wash my hands and try to say this prayer (repeat chorus)
When my [Em]time to live this life is [F#m]over
I'll tip my [G]hat when I think about that [A]swim
And of [Bm]all the things that make a life worth [C]living
That only [Em]come to those who dive right[A] i[G/B]n[A/C#]
(repeat chorus)
Let me dive into the water
It's all I need
