_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _ [G] _ _
On a [C] crowded beach, [D] in a distant [G]
time, at [C] the height of summer
[D] See a boy [G] of five, at the [C] water's edge, [Em] [D] so [G] nimble and free
[C] Jumping over the ripples, [D] looking [G] way out to sea
_ [C] Now _ [Em] _ [D] _ [G] _
_ a [C] man comes up, [D] from [G] amongst the throng, takes a [C] young boy's hand
[D] And his hand [G] is strong, and [C] the child feels safe, [D] and the child [G] feels brave
And [C] he's carrying those arms, [D] up [G] and over the waves
Deeper [C] water, _ _ [D] _
[G] _ deeper [C] water, _ [G] _ _
_ deeper water, _ _ [D] _
[G] he's calling him [C] home
_ _ [D] _

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] move forward now, [D] in a [G] child's 17, with a [C] girl in the backseat
[D] Cracking [G] at his jeans, she [C] knows what she wants
[D] She grabs [G] with her hand, while [C] the boy's trying to start it
[G] I'm a man, I'm a man, deeper [C] water, _
_ [G] _ _ _ deeper [C] water, _ [G] _ _ _ deeper [C] water, _ [G] _ _ he's calling [C] home
_ [G] _ Now _ _ [C] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ the man meets a woman, unlike all the rest, well he doesn't know it yet
But he's out of his depth, and he thinks [C] he can run
[G] It's a matter of pride, but he keeps [C] coming back, [G] like a dog on _ tide
[C] _
[G] Deeper water, _ _ [C] _ _
[G] deeper _ water, now the years [C] are in the cloud
[D] And the woman [G] loves the man, [C] one night in the dark
[G] She grabs hold of his hand, and [C] says, there can you feel [G] him, [D] kicking [G] inside
And the man [C] gets his shiver, [D] right up and down [G] his spine
Deeper [C] water, [G] deeper _ _ _ _ [C] water, [G] deeper _ _ _ _ [C] water, _ [G] _ _ he's calling him [C] _
home

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ the clock [C] moves [G] around, and the child has a joy
But death doesn't care, just two it destroys
Now the woman [C] gets [G] sick, it's down to the bone
She says, where I'm going next, I'm going low
_ [C] _
_ [G] Deeper water, _ _ [C] _
[G] deeper _ water, [C] on a distant beach
[G] _ Lonely and quiet, [C] and late at night
[G] See a man and a child, and the man [C] takes a child
[G] Up into his arms, [C] takes a love with a break
[G] Deeper water, deeper water, _ _ _ _ _ deeper water, _ deeper _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
