_ I get into the car, drive away from life.
[A] Suddenly certain she won't be my wife.
The jewelry I gave her remains [B] in the bottom of a drawer.
[A] [E] In some room I won't enter, with its coat on crescent [A] floor.
The man she is leaving stands by the door, [E] weeping at words.
Hey brother, she said them before.
[B] I go to the water, it is time [C#m] that I meet.
[E] Oh my heart wears a fancy dress, burst at the [A] seams.
All that had mattered, and all that I've seen,
[E] diving into the great [B] lakes of blood.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _
Well, it was foolish resistance.
I heard in the distance, [A] the drums of the band,
they're beating persistently, letting [E] me know it's nothing.
It's time [B] to go.
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#] [E] Perhaps I'll see her around, hair up top down,
and I will watch silently, making no [B] sound.

Hello.
[A] I go to the water, [C#m] it is time that I meet.
[E] Man, love is nothing, love is everything.
[B] It's never in between.
[A] All that had mattered, and all that I've seen,
diving into [B] the great lakes of blood.
[A] The [C#] willow will bend, and [E] the wind it will bellow,
[B] straight, straight to [A] the shore. _
[F#m] The lake is deception, she waits [E] in the shallow.
Swim, [D] swim out for more. _
I [C#m] swim, [A] swim out [E] for more. _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] Go to [E] the [B] water, it is time that I meet.
[N] Oh, my heart wears a fancy dress,
burst at the sea.
All that had mattered, and all that I've seen,
diving [E] into the [B] great lakes of love.
