Too many [D5]times we stand asid[D]e. And let the [G/D]waters slip awa[D]y
Til what we [G]put off til tomor[D/F#]row. Has [Em]now become toda[A]y.
So don't [D]you sit up[G/D]on the shore[D]line. And [Bm]say your satisfi[G]ed.
Choose to [D]chance the[Dsus] rapid[D]s. And [A]dare to dance the tide.[D] [Dsus] [Em/D] [D]
