Swimming

	  		
Intro:  F / C / G / / / 
        G / C / F / / / 

     F       C          G 
Your songs remind me of swimming, 
           G          C          F 
Which I forgot when I started to sink 
        F        C            G 
Dragged further away from the shore, 
    G      C        F 
And deeper into the drink 


F          C             G 
Sat on the bottom of the ocean, 
  G         C        F 
A stern and stubborn rock 
         F       C          G 
Cos your songs remind me of swimming, 
    G       C    F 
But somehow I forgot 

      
F     C        G 
I was sinking, now I'm sunk 
    G     C             F 
And I was drinking, and now I'm drunk 
     F       C          G 
Your songs remind me of swimming, 
    G       C     F 
But somehow I forgot. 

  F        C            G 
I tried to remember the Chorus, 
  G       C          F 
I can't remember the verse 
         F         C       G 
Cos that song that sent me swimming, 
   G              C         F 
Is now the life jacket that burst 


F              C            G 
Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor, 
G              C          F 
Sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore 
         F       C          F 
Coz your songs remind me of swimming, 
      G          C  F 
But I can't swim anymore 

F               C      G 
Pull me out the water, cold and blue, 
  G       C                      G 
I open my eyes and see that it's you, 
        F             C           G 
So I’ll dive straight back in the ocean 
         G             C           F 
Yes I’ll dive straight back in the ocean 

F           C               G 
Take a deep breath suck the water in my chest 
G           C               F 
Take a deep breath suck the water in my chest 
    F            C          G 
Then cross my fingers,  
          G                 C       F 
Then I’ll hope for the best 


Am                    G 
Then all of a sudden, I heard a note, 
F                           F           G 
It started in my chest, and ended in my throat 
Am 
Then I realise 
G 
Then I realise 
F                F / /  G / / 
Then I realised  
      F                   G 
I was swimming, yes I was swimming 
            Am                 G 
And now I’m swimming, yes I am swimming 

     F        C         G 
Your songs remind me of swimming, 
           G          C          F 
Which I forgot when I started to sink 
     F        C         G 
Your songs remind me of swimming 
           G          C          F 
Which I forgot when I started to sink 
        F        C         G 
Oh your songs remind me of swimming 
           G          C           F 
Which I forgot when I started…  
     F       C          G 
Your songs remind me of swimming 
        G             C         F 
Which I forgot when I started  

   Am/  ///  ///  /// 
To sink.
