Chords with lyrics
This song is easiest with a capo on the 7th fret for the chords. The chords listed below
are with respect to the capo.
D MajorD
Swan dive down eleven stories high
D MajorD
Hold your breath until you see the light
D MajorD
You can sink to the bottom of the sea
D MajorD
Just don't go without me
(Same pattern as before)
Go get lost where no one can be found
Drink so long and deep until you drown
Say your goodbyes but darlin' if you please,
Don't go without me.
D MajorD
C'est la vie, c'est la mort.
D MajorD
You and me, Forever more.
Let's walk down the road that has no end
Steal away where only angels tread
Heaven or hell or somewhere in between
Cross your heart to take me when you leave
Don't go
Please don't go
Don't go without me
Optional things:
The riff that starts after the first stanza is without a capo and in drop D.

The bridge is probably the real reason you people are here,
since it wasn't included in the other tab and it's why I wrote
this in the first place. For people who want to get more
complicated, it has several direct transition notes between
the chords you can play.
Also, the last part of the bridge can be done like this (relative to capo)
