Chords

[Verse 1]
N.C.    Eb                   Ebdim7
Took a high dive arcing out wide

              Bb   Bbsus4   Bb
Into the crowd

    Ab(b5)/D    Eb                     Ebm
Out to the sound of their wild applause

                          Bb   Dm/A  G
But you've heard it before

                       Cm
And you've seen it all

     Db                 Ab    Gm
From up there on the diving board
[Verse 2]
       Eb                 Ebdim7
You'd free fall into the ether

             Bb   Bbsus4   Bb
Above the people

    Ab(b5)/D        Eb                  Ebm
Out   on      a limb fragile and adored

                         Bb   Dm/A   G
But who below knows that

                      Cm
You're still a mystery

Db              Ab    Gm
Way up on the diving board
[Chorus]
             Cm            D7
Sink or swim,    I can't recall

     Gm                         Em7b5
Who said that to me? When I was sixteen

    Ab6                          Gm   G
And full of the world and its noise

                 Cm
But you beat the drum

                         D7
You fell in love with it all

             Gm                   G
The planets alight, those dizzy heights

        Db/Eb         Ab      Gm
And the view from the diving board
[Verse 3]
         Eb                           Ebdim7
Took the grand prize you and your eyes

               Bb   Bbsus4   Bb
Butterfly light

   Ab(b5)/D       Eb
Escaping      the reach

                         Ebm
Of their fangs and their claws

                         Bb   Dm/A   G
Such a pale little thing

                   Cm
In your lily-white skin

Db               Ab         Gm
High up on the diving board
[Chorus]
             Cm            D7
Sink or swim,    I can't recall

     Gm                         Em7b5
Who said that to me? When I was sixteen

    Ab6                          Gm   G
And full of the world and its noise

                 Cm
But you beat the drum

                         D7
You fell in love with it all

             Gm                   G
The planets alight, those dizzy heights

        Db/Eb         Ab      Gm
And the view from the diving board
[Instrumental] Eb Ebdim7 Bb Eb Ebm Bb Dm/A G Cm Db Ab Gm [Chorus]
             Cm            D7
Sink or swim,    I can't recall

     Gm                         Em7b5
Who said that to me? When I was sixteen

    Ab6                          Gm   G
And full of the world and its noise

                 Cm
But you beat the drum

                         D7
You fell in love with it all

             Gm                   G
The planets alight, those dizzy heights

        Db/Eb         Ab      Gm
And the view from the diving board

        Db/Eb         Ab      Gm
And the view from the diving board
[Outro] Eb Ebdim7 Bb Dm/A G Cm Db Ab Gm
