Key: G

Introduction:

difficulty
very easy |||||
 G                                 C                                 G 
I was on the water when it began to heave
 G                   Em               C                 D 
And at the fight my words were strong
 G                                       Em                                 C                         G 
But I would not have imagined that they?d stop making patterns
 G                                     Em                                 D                         G 
It?s caps of white, raised and broke I fasten to the boat
verse 2
 G                                           C                                   G 
The panic overtook me and the fear I held within
 G               Em                       C                             D 
I drew a breath and I tried to find the courage
 G                                       Em                       C                                   G 
To stand the troubled trip. What have I gotten myself into?
 G                     Em                   D               G 
I silently wondered, I silently asked
verse 3
 G                             Em                 C                         G 
I thought of my family and thought of my love
 G                           Em                   C                         D 
I thought of my maker and what might be above
 G                                       Em                 C                           G 
And the cabin in the woods that I have not yet built
 G                   Em                                 D                       G 
Many other things that I hold dear in this world
verse 4
 G                         Em                             C                               G 
I rode through the turmoil and rode through the strife
 G                         Em                             C             D 
I held to my words and I clumped to my life
 G                               Em         C               G 
And then when my vision began to blur
 G                           Em                   D                               G 
This is what I saw and the thought that had occurred
Verse 5
 G                     Em                       C                     G 
I saw every fish swimming fast beside me
 G                 Em                         C                                   D 
And all kinds of leafs from all different trees
 G                       Em                         C                         G 
And all of the insects that circle on the earth
 G                       Em                         D                         G 
Birds and land animals are reaching towards birth
Verse 6
 G                       Em               C             G 
And I saw my body on a body of water
 G                   Em                   G               D 
And I could see that we were the same
 G                     Em             C                   G 
Roaring and reckless, invulnerable
 G                     Em                     D                             G 
Emotion and swinging and predisposed to changing
Verse 7
 G                     Em           C           G 
When I open my eyes vision respell
 G                       Em                 C                       D 
I picked up my oars and I kissed the coldness
 G                       Em             C           G 
With stronger arms I silently swept
 G                       Em             D           G 
I silently drifted, I silently wept
