On the Water Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I was on the water when
[G]it began to [D]heave
And at the fight my words were [A]strong
But I [D]would not have the magic that
[G]they’d stop making pat[D]terns
It’s caps of white,
raised and broke I [A]fasten to the boat
[D]

[Verse 2]
The panic overtook me and
the [G]fear I held with[D]in
I drew a breath and I [A]tried
to find the courage
To [D]stand the troubled trip. What
have I [G]gotten myself [D]into?
I silently wondered, I [A]silently asked
[D]

[Verse 3]
I thought of my family and
[G]thought of my [D]love
I thought of my maker and
[A]what might be above
And the [D]cabin in the woods that
[G]I have not yet b[D]uild
Many other things that I hold [A]dear

[Verse 4]
I [D]rode through the turmoil and
[G]rode through [D]the strife
I held to my words and I
[A]clumped to my life
And [D]then when my vision
[G]began [D]to blur
This is what I saw in the
[A]thought that had occur
[D]

[Verse 5]
I saw every fish swimming
[G]fast beside [D]me
And all kinds of leafs from
[A]all different trees
And [D]all of the insects that
[G]circle on the [D]earth
Birds and land animals are
[A]reaching towards birth
[D]

[Verse 6]
And I saw my body on a [G]body of wa[D]ter
And I could see that [A]we were the same
[D]Roaring and reckless, in[G]vulnerable
[D]Emotion and swinging and pre[A]disposed
to chan[D]ging

[Verse 7]
When I [D]open my eyes [G]vision [D]respell
I picked up my words and I
[A]kissed the condense
With [D]stronger arms I [G]si lently [D]swear
I silently drifted,
I [A]silently wept
