* 10-bar intro

* Verse 1 Sailin' away on the crest of a wave,
It's like magic.
Ah, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin',
It's magic,

* Pre- And you and your sweet desire,
chorus You took me, oh, higher and higher, baby.

* Chorus It's a livin' thing.
It's a terrible thing to lose.
It's a given thing,
What a terrible thing to lose.

* After I'm takin' a dive,
chorus Dive.

* Verse 2 Making believe this is what you conceived
From your worst day (I'm takin' a dive).
Ah, movin' in lin, then you look back in time
To the first day (I'm takin', I'm takin'),

* Pre- And you and your sweet desire,
chorus 2 (Don't you do it, don't you do it)
You took me, oh, higher and higher, baby.

* Repeat chorus

* After I'm takin' a dive
chorus On the sea, hey.

* Verse 3 Takin' a dive 'cause you can't halt the slide,
Floating downstream (I'm takin' a dive).
Ah, so let her go, don't start spoiling the show.
It's a bad dream (I'm takin', I'm takin'),

* Repeat pre-chorus 2
* Repeat chorus 4 times
