Artist: Owl City
Album: Of June
Song: Swimming In Miami
Key: A
Verse 1:
A E D
I'm alone above the atmosphere
A E
And no one looking up can find me here
F#m D
Cause I can close my eyes, and disappear
A E D
When I climb the stairs to watch the sun
A E
Above station walls, the colors run
F#m D
To fill the swimming pool when I am done
E F#m A D E
I am the captain of an oil tanker that travels through your veins
Verse 2:
A E D
When the satellites hang all around
A E
And I can finally hear the lovely sound
F#m D
When all the engines in the backroom die down
A E D
All the airships move across the sky
A E
And my equipment just keeps standing by
F#m D
The planets glow and intensify
E F#m A D E
I am the pilot of a cargo airplane that travels through your veins
Chorus 1:
Bm A E
When you are lying half asleep in your room
Bm A E
Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon
Bm A E
Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell
Bm A E
It could be raining but then you can never tell
Bm A E
If you're alone in this awful downpour
Bm A E
Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door
Verse 3 (as verses 1 & 2)
In the evening light the boulevard
Conceals the night with disregard
For all the workers in a west coast ship yard
When I rearrange the silverware
And re-install the lights and captian's chair
I'll lift the ceiling off to breathe the ocean air
I am the engineer of forty freight trains that travels through your veins
Chorus 2:
Bm A E
When you are lying half asleep in your room
Bm A E
Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon
Bm A E
Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell
Bm A E
It could be raining but then you can never tell
Bm A E
If you're awake in this awful downpour
Bm A E
Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door
Bm A E F#m
When you are swimming in Miami at night
Bm A E
And all around you are the traffic and city lights
Ending: A, E, D
