Chords with lyrics

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: G+G

Intro:

G+G  G+G



Verse I:
     G+G
Watching light through water
     C majorC
I want to bend the way it bends
  E minorEm               D MajorD
You slice like a knife through the surface
      C majorC
But what a thrill to see it mend
    A minorAm    C majorC
With no scar, no memory
  G+G            A minorAm
I’m envious, why pretend I’m not

Verse II:
    G+G
Wading in up to the ankles
     C majorC
The cold speaks straight to my bones
  E minorEm         D MajorD
Whole body and soul hesitation
    C majorC
I am a coward turned to stone
    A minorAm    C majorC
I stay there for centuries
  G+G   FF    E minorEm  A minorAm
So all of history knows about it

Pre-Chorus:
  D MajorD
But hey hey
         D MajorD
We made it to the longest day
    D MajorD
And the sun, the wind the earth
        D MajorD
Are wearing me away

Chorus:
  G+G            C majorC
The shame! I wish that I was brave enough to dive in
   E minorEm         D MajorD
But I never have been and never will be
  C majorC                  G+G
I’m coming in hot then freezing completely
                C majorC
The shame! I wish that I could say what I’ve been thinking
   E minorEm         D MajorD
But I never have done and never will do
   C majorC
Still only knees deep
I’ll never be brave like you

Verse III:
G+G
 Lighten up like a candle
    C majorC
I’m as likely to go out
    E minorEm           D MajorD
You can sigh from the bottom of your lungs
     C majorC
Until the house gets blown down
  A minorAm     C majorC
One step, then two, then three
   G+G    FF   E minorEm   A minorAm
‘Til I’ve forgotten how to count them

Pre-Chorus:
  D MajorD
But hey hey
         D MajorD
We made it to the longest day
    D MajorD
And the river’s ready current
       D MajorD
Can carry me away

Chorus:
  G+G            C majorC
The shame! I wish that I was brave enough to dive in
   E minorEm         D MajorD
But I never have been and never will be
  C majorC                  G+G
I’m coming in hot then freezing completely
                C majorC
The shame! I wish that I could say what I’ve been thinking
   E minorEm         D MajorD
But I never have done and never will do
   C majorC
Still only knees deep
I’ll never be brave like you

Chorus:
G+G               C majorC
 The shame! I wish that I was brave enough to dive in
   E minorEm         D MajorD
But I never have been and never will be
  C majorC                  G+G
I’m coming in hot then freezing completely
                C majorC
The shame! I wish that I could say what I’ve been thinking
   E minorEm         D MajorD
But I never have done and never will do
   C majorC                     G+G
Still only knees deep
I’ll never be brave like you
