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