[Verse]
C                                              Am
Sailing away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic

    Ab                                                Fm
Oh, rolling and riding and slipping and sliding, it's magic

    Em                   Dm
And you and your sweet desire

                |  Em  |  Dm  |
Don't you do it to me,

   Em               F      G
Oh-oh,   higher and higher baby
[Chorus]
C         Am
   It's a living thing

F         Dm       Gaug    [ C ]
   It's a terrible thing to lose

C         Am
   It's a giving thing

F         Dm       Gaug    [ C ]
   What a terrible thing to lose
[Interlude]

    Dive!

C                                                      Am
Making believe this is what you've conceived from your worst day

   Ab                                               Fm
Oh moving in line when you look back in time to the first day

And you and your sweet desire

C                                                     Am
Taking a dive cause you can't halt the slide floating down stream

    Ab                                                  Fm
Oh, so let her go don't start spoiling the show, it's a bad dream

Don't you do it to me,
