Tabbed by: Rayman1986
[Verse 1]
C D G On a crowded beach in a distant time C D G At the height of summer see a boy of five C D G At the water's edge so nimble and free C D G Jumping over the ripples looking way out to sea C D G Now a man comes up from amongst the throng C D G Takes the young boy's hand, and his hand is strong C D G And the child feels safe, yeah the child feels brave C D G As he's carried in those arms, up and over the waves
[Chorus]
C D G Deeper water, C D G deeper water, C D G deeper water, C D G calling him on
(Same chord progression, but now it's powerchords.)
[Verse 2]
C D G Let's move forward now and the child's seventeen C D G With a girl in the back seat tugging at his jeans C D G And she knows what she wants, she guides with her hand C D G As a voice cries inside him - I'm a man, I'm a man!
[Chorus]
C D G Deeper water, (Deeper water) C D G deeper water, (Deeper water) C D G deeper water, (Deeper water) C D G calling him on
[Verse 3]
C D G Now the man meets a woman unlike all the rest C D G He doesn't know it yet but he's out of his depth C D G And he thinks he can run, it's a matter of pride C D G But he keeps coming back like a cork on the tide C D G Well, the years hurry by and the woman loves the man C D G Then one night in the dark she grabs hold of his hand C D G Says "There, can you feel it kicking inside!" C D G And the man gets a shiver right up and down his spine
[Chorus]
C D G Deeper water, C D G deeper water, C D G deeper water, C D G calling him on
[Verse 4] (back to regular chords for this verse)
C D G So the clock moves around and the child is a joy C D G But Death doesn't care just who it destroys C D G Now the woman gets sick, thins down to the bone C D G She says "Where I'm going next, I'm going alone"
[Chorus]
C D G Deeper water, C D G deeper water, C D G deeper water, C D G calling him on
[Verse 5]
C D G On a distant beach lonely and wild C D G At a later time see a man and a child C D G And the man takes the child up into his arms C D G Takes her over the breakers, to where the water is calm
[Chorus]
C D G Deeper water, C D G deeper water, C D G deeper water, C D G calling him on C D G C5 D5 G5 e|-0----2-----3-----x-----x----x----| B|-1----3-----2-----x-----x----x----| G|-0----2-----0-----5-----7----x----| D|-2----0-----0-----5-----7----5----| A|-3----0-----2-----3-----5----5----| E|-0----0-----3-----x-----x----3----|
