Verse 1 (play intro riff over):
Em       D             C2          G/B
It was a test we could all hope to pass
    D/F#       Em            Am   B
But none of us would want to take
Em             D           C2         G/B
Faced with the choice to deny God and live
    D/F#        Em            C
For her the was one choice to make


Chorus:
             G                  D/F#
This was her time, this was her dance
                Em                      C
She lived every moment, left nothing to chance
                G                 D/F#
She swam in the sea, drank of the deep
             Em                       C
Embraced the mystery of all she could be, this was her time


Em - D - C2 - G/B - D/F# - Em - Am - B


Verse 2 (same as verse 1):
Though you are mourning and grieving your loss
Death died a long time ago
Swallowed in life, so her life carries on
Still, it's so hard to let go


Chorus:
             G                  D/F#
This was her time, this was her dance
                Em                      C
She lived every moment, left nothing to chance
                G                 D/F#
She swam in the sea, drank of the deep
             Em                       C
Embraced the mystery of all she could be
          G                 D/F#
What if tomorrow, what if today
               Em                           C
Faced with the question, oh, what would you say

Swim in the sea, drink of the deep
            Em                      Cmaj7 C
Fall on the mercy and hear yourself praying
          G    Gmaj7 G           C    D
