We were there in the woods by the water
DD Piano Chord 
                            EmEm Piano Chord 

We left our packs up against that willow tree
EmEm Piano Chord 
                                 Em7Em7 Piano Chord 

We dove right in, keeping just what we were born with:
EmEm Piano Chord 
                      AA Piano Chord 

(all) Our Memories, Knowledge and Dreams

As I swam away from our possessions
DD Piano Chord 
                            EmEm Piano Chord 

I imagined that they were gone forever more
EmEm Piano Chord 
                  F#mF#m Piano Chord 
     BmBm Piano Chord 

And for once I was glad that all I treasured
EmEm Piano Chord 
                         AA Piano Chord 

Would still be with me as I reached other shore. So...

Chorus
GG Piano Chord 
                    AA Piano Chord 

Let me dive into the water,
DD Piano Chord 
                  BmBm Piano Chord 

leave behind all that I've worked for
EmEm Piano Chord 
             AA Piano Chord 
           DD Piano Chord 

Except what I remember and believe
EmEm Piano Chord 
     AA Piano Chord 
            DD Piano Chord 
        BmBm Piano Chord 

and when I stand on the farthest shore
EmEm Piano Chord 
          AA Piano Chord 
     CC Piano Chord 

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]

EmEm Piano Chord 
                        F#mF#m Piano Chord 

When my time to live this life is over
GG Piano Chord 
                           AA Piano Chord 

I'll tip my hat when I think about that swim
BmBm Piano Chord 
                                    CC Piano Chord 

And of all the things that make a life worth living
EmEm Piano Chord 
                          AA Piano Chord 
 G/BG/B Piano Chord 
 A/C#A/C# Piano Chord 

That only come to those who dive right in
[repeat chorus]

Let me dive into the water
It's all I need
