Capo II 

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

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

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

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

             D               D7 
Perhaps I'll see her around, hair up, top down 
D 
And I could watch silently, making no sound 
         A                                        D 
It would soften the blow, to leave without saying hello 

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

    Em                      Bm         D                 C               G                    
The wind it'll bend and the wind it'll bellow, straight, straight to the shore 
    Em                    Bm           D 
The lake is deception she waits in the shadows 
D     C             G           D     C             G 
swim, swim, out for more      I swim, swim, out for more 

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