So... Chorus G A Let me dive into the water, D Bm leave behind all that I've worked for Em A D Except what I remember and believe Em A D Bm and when I stand on the farthest shore Em A C 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) Em F#m When my time to live this life is over G A I'll tip my hat when I think about that swim Bm C And of all the things that make a life worth living Em A GA/C# That only come to those who dive right in (repeat chorus) Let me dive into the water It's all I need
