Taken    years        ago,              Turned around backward so the windshield shows.
 
 
Gadd9        Cadd9   D
Every streetlight   reveals the
Gadd9       Cadd9  A9
picture in reverse.
Cadd9            D
Still, it's so much clearer.
Gadd9        Cadd9    D
I forgot my shirt at the
Gadd9             Cadd9    A9
water's edge. The moon is low to-
Cadd9   D
-night.

[Verse 2]
Gadd9     Cadd9  D
      Nightswimming
Gadd9             Cadd9   A9
 deserves a quiet night
     Cadd9            D
I'm not sure all these people under-
Gadd9    Cadd9         D
-stand.  It's not like years
Gadd9    Cadd9    A9
ago.    The fear of getting
Cadd9      D
caught,   Of recklessness and
Gadd9       Cadd9  D
water.    They cannot see me
Gadd9           Cadd9    A9
naked.    These things, they go
Cadd9    D
away,   Replaced by every-
Gadd9        Cadd9   D
-day. Nightswimming,
Gadd9            Cadd9  A9
remembering that night.
  Cadd9           D
September's coming soon
    Gadd9         Cadd9     D
I'm pining for the moon. And
Gadd9             Cadd9   A9
what if there were two, Side
Cadd9            D
by side in orbit, Around the fairest
Gadd9   Cadd9       D
sun?   That bright, tight for--
Gadd9                Cadd9    A9
--ever drum Could not describe   night--
Cadd9      D
--swimming.
 
[Verse 3]
Gadd9           Cadd9     D
You, I thought I knew you
Gadd9        Cadd9   A9
You, I cannot judge
Cadd9              D
You, I thought you knew me. This one
Gadd9         Cadd9  D
laughing quietly     Under-
Gadd9        Cadd9   A9
-neath my breath.   Night-
Cadd9     D
-swimming

  Gadd9          Cadd9      D
The photograph reflects  every
Gadd9           Cadd9      A9
 streetlight a reminder. Night-
Cadd9          D
-swimming   de-serves a quiet
Gadd9          Cadd9      D
 night.

capo 1 makes sense with this tab
On the tab that A9 should be shown that the 5th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st string should show as played open (0 on the string)
