[Intro] (freely)
| E | % | % | % |
This one, this one, this one ...
Verse 1
Did I ever take you in my arms
Look you in the eye, tell you that I do?
Did I ever open up my heart
Em | A | % |
Let you look inside?
Chorus
If I never did it, I was only waiting
For a better moment that didn’t come
There never could be a better moment
Than this one, this one
This swan is gliding above the ocean
A God is riding upon his back
How calm the water and bright the rainbow
Fade this one to black
Verse 2
Did I ever touch you on the cheek
Say that you were mine, thank you for the smile?
Did I ever knock upon your door
Em | A | % |
Try to get inside?
Chorus
If I never did it, I was only waiting
For a better moment that didn’t come
There never could be a better moment
Than this one, this one
This swan is gliding above the ocean
A God is riding upon his back
How calm the water and bright the rainbow
Fade this one to black
Middle 8
What opportunities did we allow to flow by
Feeling like the timing wasn’t quite right?
What kind of magic might have worked if we had stayed calm
G | E | % | % |
Couldn’t I have given you a better life? (break)
Verse 3
Did you ever take me in your arm
Look me in the eye, tell me that you do?
Did I ever open up my heart
Em | A | % |
Let you look inside?
Chorus
If I never did it, I was only waiting
For a better moment that didn’t come
There never could be a better moment
Than this one, this one
This swan is gliding above the ocean
A God is riding upon his back
How calm the water and bright the rainbow
Fade this one to black
Coda
| A5 | A5 D5 | A5 | A5 D5 |
The swan is gliding, oh
| A5 | A5 D5 | A5 | A5 D5 |
A God is riding, oh
| A5 | A5 D5 | A5 | A5 D5 |
How calm the water and bright the rainbow
(How calm the water)
| A5 | A5 D5 | A5 | A5 D5
