Swimming Chords

F            C       G
Your songs remind me of swimming,
G         F         C
Which I forgot when I started to sink
 
Drank further away from the shore,
 
And deeper into the drink
 
 
 
Sat on the bottom of the ocean,
 
A stern and stubborn rock
 
Cos your songs remind me of swimming,
 
But somehow I forgot
 
 
 
I was sinking, now I'm sunk
 
And I was drinking, now I'm drunk
 
Cos your songs remind me of swimming,
 
But somehow I forgot
 
 
I tried to remember the chorus,
 
I can't remember the verse
 
Cos that song that sent me swimming,
 
Is now the life jacket that burst
 
 
 
Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor,
 
Sinking like a siren that can't swim no more
 
Your songs remind me of swimming,
 
But I can't swim any more
 
 
Am                    F
Then all of a sudden, I heard a note,
C                          G
It started in my chest and ended in my throat
 
Then I realised I was swimming,
 
And then I realised I was swimming,
 
And then I realised I was swimming,
 
And then I realised I was swimming
 
 
 
Pull me out the water, cold and blue,
 
I open my eyes and I see that it's you,
 
So I dive straight back in the ocean
 
 
 
Take a deep breath, tuck the water in my chest
 
Cross my fingers and hope for the best
 
Oh, take a deep breath, tuck the water in my chest,
 
Cross my fingers and hope for the best
 
 
 
Then all of a sudden, I heard a note,
 
It started in my chest and ended in my throat
 
And then I realised I was swimming,
 
And then I realised I was swimming,
 
And then I realised I was swimming,
 
And then I realised I was swimming
