[Intro]
D C D C
[Vs.1]
We were Dthere in the Cwoods by the Dwater
We left our Dpacks up against that willow Emtree
We dove right Emin, keeping just what we were Emborn with
Our Emmemories, our Em7knowledge, and our Adreams
As I Dswam aCway from our poDssessions
I iDmagined that they were F#7gone forever Bmmore
And for Emonce I was glad that all I Emtreasured
Would still be Emwith me as I reached other Ashore.
So let me Gdive into the Awater,
Leave beDhind all that I've Bmworked for
ExEmcept what I remAember and beDlieveD7  
And Emwhen I sAtand on the DfartAhest Bmshore
EmI will have Aall I Cneed
After the Dblaze burned our Ccabin down to Dashes
Where we'd slept Dwarm, now the sky lets in the Emrain
I found the Emstrings, frets and rusted Emlatches
But I will Gnever hear that old guitar Aagain
These four Dwalls are Conly in my Dmemory
Where these stone Dsteps rise to nothing in the Emair
So one last Emlook and I'm F#7headed for the Bmriver
To wash my hEmands and try to say this Aprayer
Let me Gdive into the Awater,
Leave beDhind all that I've Bmworked for
ExEmcept what I remAember and beDlieveD7  
And Emwhen I sAtand on the DfartAhest Bmshore
EmI will have Aall I Dneed
When my Emtime to live this life is F#7over
I'll tip my Ghat when I think about that Aswim
And of Bmall the things that make a life worth Cliving
That only Emcome to those who dive Aright in
So let me Gdive into the Awater,
Leave beDhind all that I've Bmworked for
ExEmcept what I remAember and beDlieveD7  
And Emwhen I sAtand on the DfartAhest Bmshore
EmI will have Aall I Cneed
All I need
Let me dive into the water
It's all I need

[Intro]

D C D C

[Vs.1]

D C D

We were there in the woods by the water

D Em

We left our packs up against that willow tree

Em Em

We dove right in, keeping just what we were born with

Em Em7 A

Our memories, our knowledge, and our dreams

D C D

As I swam away from our possessions

D F#7 Bm

I imagined that they were gone forever more

Em Em

And for once I was glad that all I treasured

Em A

Would still be with me as I reached other shore.

G A

So let me dive into the water,

D Bm

Leave behind all that I've worked for

Em A D D7

Except what I remember and believe

Em A D A Bm

And when I stand on the farthest shore

Em A C

I will have all I need

D C D

After the blaze burned our cabin down to ashes

D Em

Where we'd slept warm, now the sky lets in the rain

Em Em

I found the strings, frets and rusted latches

G A

But I will never hear that old guitar again

D C D

These four walls are only in my memory

D Em

Where these stone steps rise to nothing in the air

Em F#7 Bm

So one last look and I'm headed for the river

Em A

To wash my hands and try to say this prayer

G A

Let me dive into the water,

D Bm

Leave behind all that I've worked for

Em A D D7

Except what I remember and believe

Em A D A Bm

And when I stand on the farthest shore

Em A D

I will have all I need

Em F#7

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

That only come to those who dive right in

G A

So let me dive into the water,

D Bm

Leave behind all that I've worked for

Em A D D7

Except what I remember and believe

Em A D A Bm

And when I stand on the farthest shore

Em A C

I will have all I need

All I need

Let me dive into the water

It's all I need
