Nothing here to hold
an island in the head
water in the soul
an island in the head
water in the soul
Something will survive
let the body melt
water is alive
let the body melt
water is alive
Something will survive
nothing here to hold
let the body fold

Transcriber Notes:
I tabbed this from Stu's Live at the Fine Line show, which can be found on the
Dream Usher Website. Stu uses a dropped D tuning on the sixth string. This is
a very percussive version of Dive, so make use of muting (represented by an
"x") in between the chords. For the chorus and outro part, "where the water is
awake..." i didn't tab out all the strums so make sure that you strum in those
sections. Peace, Del.
