Intro: Am F C Dm C G C
Dm G
She rises like the dolphin with the sea wind in her eyes
F A Dm
The sunlight casting shadows like a painter's palette knife
C G
Her hair fans out around her, floating like a crown
C
She plays on the water and lets it pull her down
F C Dm
Sometimes she swims in moonlight with the stars high above
E7 Am
The night sounds of the water speaking soft of love
F C Dm
Her skin turns to velvet as she feels the waters glide
C G C Dm C G C
She loses all her boundaries on this magic carpet ride
Dm G F
You see ripples on the water and watch the shadows dance
A Dm
Then she's diving down and you're looking through a glass
C G
Like a one-way mirror her reflection's far below
C
Where she was, she isn't now, that's all you really know
F C Dm
Two swimmers in the water, one of silver, one of gold
E7 Am
One below the surface, one reaching for a hold
F C Dm
One floating freely, one trying not to drown
C G C
A dreamer with two faces, a dolphin and a clown
Instrumental: F C Dm E7 Am F C Dm C G C
Dm G F
If you think you'll hold her in a shallow pool
A Dm
Or catch her in a waterfall, you're thinking like a fool
C G
She'll strike for the horizon like a ship out to sea
C
Leaving just illusions that look like memories
F C Dm
She wears the water like a mask, a brand new suit of clothes
E7 Am
A player on the stage, an actress no one knows
F C Dm
See her roll and tumble, falling like a clown
C G C
A swimmer in the water, that runs from higher ground
