         D5                 D              G/D            D
Too many times we stand aside. And let the waters slip away
            G                D/F#     Em             A  
Til what we put off til tomorrow. Has now become today.
         D         G/D         D         Bm              G
So don't you sit upon the shoreline. And say your satisfied.
          D         Dsus  D       A                       D  Dsus  Em/D D
Choose to chance the rapids.  And dare to dance the tide.
