   | G       Cadd9    | D/F#    G
On a crowded beach in a distant time

     | G         Cadd9      | D/F#   G
At the height of summer see a boy of five

     | G       Cadd9 | D/F#       G
At the water's edge so nimble and free

      | G        Cadd9         | D/F#       G
Jumping over the ripples looking way out to sea



[play:4/4| Cadd9 | D/F#  G6 |]  [x2]

D/F#  2x023x


    | G         Cadd9     | D/F#       G
Now a man comes up    from amongst the throng

        | G           Cadd9      | D/F#    G
Takes the young boy's hand and his hand is strong

      | G           Cadd9         | D/F#        G
And the child feels safe, yeah, the child feels brave

      | G       Cadd9                | D/F#     G
As he's carried in   those arms up and over the waves

     | G     Cadd9 | D/F# G       | G      C | D/F#  G
Deeper water,                deeper water,

     | G     Cadd9 | D/F# G | G           C | D/F#  G
Deeper water,             is  calling him on

    | G5           C5        | D5           G5
Let's move forward now and the child's seventeen

     | G5          C5      | D5             G5
With a girl in the back seat tugging at his jeans

      | G5             C5       | D5              G5
And she knows what she wants, she guides with her hand

   | G5            C5             | D5         G5
As a voice cries inside him - I'm a man, I'm a man!

G     320003


      | G           Cadd9 | D/F#         G
Now the man meets a woman unlike all the rest

         | G       Cadd9      | D/F#       G
He doesn't know it yet but he's out of his depth

     | G             Cadd9     | D/F#      G
And he thinks he can run, it's a matter of pride

     | G            Cadd9     | D/F#        G
But he keeps coming back like a cork on the tide

     | G    Cadd9 | D/F# G
Deeper water
           (Deeper  wa - ter)


     | G    Cadd9 | D/F# G
Deeper water
           (Deeper  wa - ter)

G     320003


        | G           Cadd9    | D/F#            G
Well, the years hurry by and the woman loves the man

       | G            Cadd9        | D/F#        G
Then one night in the dark she grabs hold of his hand

    | G              Cadd9 | D/F#      G
Says 'There, can you feel it kicking inside!'

      | G          Cadd9             | D/F#     G
And the man gets a shiver right up and down his spine

G     320003


        | G            Cadd9       | D/F#       G
Yeah, the clock moves around and the child is a joy

  | G             Cadd9   | D/F#      G
But Death doesn't care just who it destroys

  | G              Cadd9     | D/F#        G
Now the woman gets sick, thins down to the bone

              | Cadd9               D/F#   G
She says "Where I'm going next, I'm going alone"

D/F#  2x023x
G     320003


   | G       Cadd9 | D/F#       G
On a distant beach,  lonely and wild

   | G     Cadd9    | D/F#      G
At a later time see a man and a child

      | G             Cadd9  | D/F#     G
And the man takes the child up into his arms

        | G        Cadd9               | D/F#     G
Takes her over the breakers to where the water is calm
