when i step into the light my arms open wide
when i step into the light my eyes searching wild
would you not like to be
sitting on top of the world with your legs hanging free
would you not like to be OK, OK, OK
when we're walking by the water
splish splash me and you taking a bath
when we're walking by the water
come to my toes to my ankles to my head to my soul
then i'm blown away

wondering if we had spent our living days well

Dave Matthews Band
"Lie In Our Graves"
From the album "Crash"
Words by Dave Matthews
Music by Dave Matthews, Carter Beauford, Stefan Lessard, Leroi
Moore, and Boyd Tinsley
Transcribed by Tim Barnett
First off, this just is all about what Dave is known for,
straight jammin!! This song was kind of easy to figure out because of
the repetition of the intro. The rest of the song is just playing
chords slow then fast. I want to dedicate this song to Corey and J.D.
who got me into Dave Matthews Band.

1st verse:
When I step into the light, my arms are open wide.
Oh, when I step into the light, my eyes searching wildly.
Would you not like to be sittin' on top of the world with your legs
hangin' free?
Would you not like to be
okay, okay, okay.

When i'm walikin' by the water, splish splash, me and you takin' a bath.
Oh, when I'm walkin' by the water,
Comes up through my toes to my ankles to my head to my soul I'm blown
away.

3rd verse: Fig.1 7 and a half xs
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had
spend our living days well.
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that
we might have been.
Would you not like to be?
I can't believe that you would not like to be okay, okay, okay, okay,
okay, okay.
