Guitar chords with lyrics
- Difficulty: Advanced 🤯
Key: Eb
Verse 1:
N.C. Eb Ebdim7
Took a high dive arcing out wide
Bb Bbsus4 Bb
Into the crowd
Ab(b5)/D Eb Ebm
Out to the sound of their wild applause
Bb Dm/A G
But you've heard it before
Cm
And you've seen it all
Db Ab Gm
From up there on the diving board
Verse 2:
Eb Ebdim7
You'd free fall into the ether
Bb Bbsus4 Bb
Above the people
Ab(b5)/D Eb Ebm
Out on a limb fragile and adored
Bb Dm/A G
But who below knows that
Cm
You're still a mystery
Db Ab Gm
Way up on the diving board
Chorus:
Cm D7
Sink or swim
I can't recall
Gm Em7b5
Who said that to me? When I was sixteen
Ab6 Gm G
And full of the world and its noise
Cm
But you beat the drum
D7
You fell in love with it all
Gm G
The planets alight, those dizzy heights
Db/Eb Ab Gm
And the view from the diving board
Verse 3:
Eb Ebdim7
Took the grand prize you and your eyes
Bb Bbsus4 Bb
Butterfly light
Ab(b5)/D Eb
Escaping the reach
Ebm
Of their fangs and their claws
Bb Dm/A G
Such a pale little thing
Cm
In your lily-white skin
Db Ab Gm
High up on the diving board
Chorus:
Cm D7
Sink or swim
I can't recall

Who said that to me? When I was sixteen
Ab6 Gm G

You fell in love with it all

The planets alight, those dizzy heights

And the view from the diving board
