Cave Diving

from That's Rough by Michael Howard

lyrics

Capo 2

E F#m E F#m B A E
She wrote me all the letter, it was love at first sight unseen
Talking bout boomy weather, I could barely guess what that means
Soon comes the day she’ll fly alone across the sea
Oh joy can you believe she’ll be free from cave diving

Like sand in an oyster shell, i’ve got these memories inside of me
Pearls made of agony, a fake license plate keychain from a truckstop
But they don’t have your name, cause we dont make those sounds here
You’ll have to come and see, but you better bring your flashlight if you’ll be
Cave diving

G A D Bm
All she ever wanted was a chance like any one of us
A chance to live another life, knowing what she’s learned from this one
Never dive alone at night, and don’t leave home without a knife

So i purchase her a one way ticket, Manila to Chicago O’hare
I’ll be on the road six days a week, when she’s here I’ll be barely there
Still she’s coming home, with hopes to be wed before she’s twenty three,
Before she grows up and finds out that she’ll be cave diving.
She’ll be free from cave diving
She’ll be missing cave diving
