Chords with lyrics

Tabbed by Joe (tabs at stype dot org)

Standard tuning or drop D MajorD
Capo II

D MajorD
I get into the car, drive away from the life
G+G
Suddenly certain she won't be my wife
D MajorD                           A augmentedA
And the jewelry I give her remains in the bottom of a drawer

D MajorD
In some room I won't enter with it's cold un-christened floor
    G+G
And the man she is leaving, he stands by the door
D MajorD                      A augmentedA
Weepin' at words "hey brother" she said them before

G+G              B minorBm
So I go to the water, it is time that I need
   D MajorD             A augmentedA
Oh my heart wears a fancy dress, burst at the seams
G+G             B minorBm    A augmentedA  G+G
All that had mattered and all that I've seen
    D MajorD    A augmentedA       D MajorD
diving into the great lakes of love

D MajorD
It was foolish resistance I heard in the distance
  G+G
the drums of the band they were beating persistently
D MajorD                    A augmentedA
letting me know it's nothing but time to move on

D MajorD        D7D7
Perhaps I'll see her around, hair up, top down
D MajorD
And I could watch silently, making no sound
     A augmentedA                    D MajorD
It would soften the blow, to leave without saying hello

G+G           B minorBm
So I go to the water, it is time that I need
D MajorD                   A augmentedA
Love is nothing, love is everything, its never in-between
G+G             B minorBm    A augmentedA  G+G
All that had mattered and all that I've seen
    D MajorD    A augmentedA       D MajorD
diving into the great lakes of love

E minorEm           B minorBm     D MajorD         C majorC        G+G
The wind it'll bend and the wind it'll bellow, straight, straight to the shore
  E minorEm          B minorBm      D MajorD
The lake is deception she waits in the shadows
D MajorD   C majorC       G+G      D MajorD   C majorC       G+G
swim, swim, out for more   I swim, swim, out for more

G+G           B minorBm
So I go to the water, it is time that I need
   D MajorD             A augmentedA
Oh my heart wears a fancy dress, burst at the seams
G+G             B minorBm    A augmentedA  G+G
All that had mattered and all that I've seen
    D MajorD    A augmentedA       B minorBm   A augmentedA  G+G
diving into the great lakes of love
    D MajorD    A augmentedA       G+G   E minorEm   D MajorD
falling into the great lakes of love
