Against The Current

	  		
 
Capo on 2 (I use no capo because she has a high voice) 

*Chords w/ lyrics are first, the tab is below that!* 

This is an amazing song and I really wish more people knew about it so please rate, play, and share  
it as much as possible! :) 


Chord Progression: 

Intro: C Am F Fm 

Verse1: 
         C 
 So they say 
                Am 
There are other fishes in the sea 
        F 
But the only one that's missing 
       Fm 
is the one that swims for me. 
           C 
And so you say, 
                   Am 
"Oh dear just wait patiently, 
F                       Fm 
Love will come along, eventually." 


     F         G                 C 
So I tried to swim against the current 
   F       G            C       Am 
To live my life and let me be 
         F             G 
So don't cast me a line 
            C    G      F 
'cause I've run out of time 
   F   G   C 
To live a lie 



verse 2: 
          C 
I can't deny 
                    Am 
You've hooked me so deep again 
           F 
With your smart and witty lines 
         Fm 
You have soiled my disguise 
              C 
and then the waves 
                        Am 
oh the waves they come crashing down 
        F 
when I see the look in your eyes 
            Fm 
when you're watching her walk by 

Bridge 1: 
           F      G      C                   F 
"If you're looking to fit in then join the rest 
           F           G     C              F 
'Cause you know you'll only end up second best" 
     Fm 
They said, 


       F       G               C 
If you want to swim along the current, 
     F       G                C       Am 
then act and speak the way we do 
    F           G 
You may be untrue 
             C  G      F 
but if you'd rather be us 
      F G     C 
Then why be you. 


Bridge 2: 
                 F   G   Am    
What a beautiful lie 
                 F   G   Am    
What a beautiful lie 
                 F   G   Am    
What a beautiful lie,  
   F       
to live. 


        F          G                   C 
So I've learned to swim against the current 
     F      G                C       Am 
To live my life and now I'm free 
    F           G  
Because honestly, 
                C         G    F 
there's no one else I'd rather be. 
   F    G   C 
So watch me leave
