Verse 1:

D          A
I nearly died, when you jumped in

  D        G   A     D
But you had to drown before you could swim

D                   Bm     A
All the people on the beach, they were so impressed

     D
That they wanted to join you

       Bm     A
But no, they wouldn't undress

  D        G      A
Or let that wetness splash their skin

    D                A
So they pray for a whirlpool to pull you in

Chorus:

D   G A  D  G A  D  G A D G A
Ya Ho!   Ya Ho!  Ya Ho!

Verse 2:

D               G      A
So they looked away, and they tried to pretend

    D           Bm     D
That it was for you, but no it wasn't for them

    D          G   A
So the fear of sinking remains in place

     D              Bm   A
But it's the fear of failure that's a real disgrace


Chorus:

  D  G A   D  G A
Ya Ho! yo yo Ya Ho, yo yo

D
Let me be the one

G       A
Let me be the one

D
Let me be the one

G       A
Let me be the one



  D       G A
To get over your wall

  D       G A
To get over your wall

Solo:
D G A D F# Bm F# D Bm D G D

Verse 3:

D         A
Head in the sand, sea out of reach

D         G   A
Swept away by the games of the beach

         D  G    A
Those people sat and watched your stand

A
And the weight of their fears

D      A
Pulled them underground

   D           G        A
Will anyone learn from the stories that are told

    D            Bm    E
Of the tribe who drowned in the grave of gold

Chorus:

  D  G A   D  G A
Ya Ho! yo yo Ya Ho, yo yo

D
Let me be the one

G       A
Let me be the one

D
Let me be the one

G       A
Let me be the one

Outro:

    D         G      A
Take a too long look with eyes bright wide

  D           G    A
To face those fears from which I hide

  D  G
Ya Ho!

Put your head down, someone’s drowning

Look up see what’s fit for your eyes

Someone escapin’ and someone’s drowning
