RE DO RE DO
RE DO RE
We were there in the woods by the water
RE MIm
We left our packs up against that willow tree
MIm MIm7
We dove right in, keeping just what we were born with:
MIm LA
(all) Our Memories, Knowledge and Dreams
RE DO RE
As I swam away from our possessions
RE MIm
I imagined that they were gone forever more
MIm FA#m SIm
And for once I was glad that all I treasured
MIm LA
Would still be with me as I reached other shore. So...
Chorus
SOL LA
Let me dive into the water,
RE SIm
leave behind all that I've worked for
MIm LA RE
Except what I remember and believe
MIm LA RE SIm
and when I stand on the farthest shore
MIm LA DO
I will have all I 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]
MIm FA#m
When my time to live this life is over
SOL LA
I'll tip my hat when I think about that swim
SIm DO
And of all the things that make a life worth living
MIm LA SOL/SI LA/DO#
That only come to those who dive right in
[repeat chorus]
Let me dive into the water
It's all I need
