B
When I'm on a boat
I float - I know I can never drown
  B              A
I see underwater and
     E                          B
The wind, the wind is the only sound

E
Take your hand and I go under
    F#
I'm under and above
 E
Take your hand and I go under
    D#m            C#m
I'm under and above

Chorus:
        B
On the river
I'm floating in
Underwater
                    E
I'm diving into the ocean
                        B
A thousand black water lilies
On the river
I'm floating in
     C#m
Underwater
    D#m             E
I'm diving into the ocean
   F#                   E     B
A thousand black water lilies
Black water lilies

Arms are reaching for my arms
I can see no more
We dance as we float around
We head towards the ocean floor

Take your hand and I go under
I'm under and above
Take your hand and I go under
I'm under and above

Chorus:
On the river I'm floating in
On the water, I'm diving into the ocean
A thousand black water lilies
In the river I'm falling in
Under water, I'm diving into the ocean
A thousand black water lilies
(A thousand black water lilies)

C#m D#m   E
    I am warm
F#       C#m
Floating down
  D#m   E  F#
I am reborn

Water lilies
Water lilies
Water lilies
Water lilies
Bmm, ahh
Yeah
(Black water lilies)
