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
