Farthest Shore

D C D C D C D We were there in the woods by the water D Em We left our packs up against that willow tree Em Em7 We dove right in, keeping just what we were born with: Em A (all) Our Memories, Knowledge and Dreams D C D As I swam away from our possessions D Em I imagined that they were gone forever more Em F#m Bm And for once I was glad that all I treasured Em A Would still be with me as I reached other shore. So... Chorus G A Let me dive into the water, D Bm leave behind all that I've worked for Em A D Except what I remember and believe Em A D Bm and when I stand on the farthest shore Em A C I will have all I need After the blaze burned our cabin down to ashes Where we'd slept warm, now the sky lets in the rain I found the strings, frets and rusted latches But I will never hear that old guitar again These four walls are only in my memory Where these stone steps rise to nothing in the air So one last look and I'm headed for the river To wash my hands and try to say this prayer [repeat chorus] Em F#m When my time to live this life is over G A I'll tip my hat when I think about that swim Bm C And of all the things that make a life worth living Em A G/B A/C# That only come to those who dive right in [repeat chorus] Let me dive into the water It's all I need
