Your [F] songs [Am] remind me of [G] swimming,
Which I [G] forgot when I [Am] started to [F] sink
Dragged [F] further [Am] away from the [G] shore,
And [G] deeper [Am] into the [F] drink
[F] Sat on the [Am] bottom of the [G] ocean,
A [G] stern and [Am] stubborn [F] rock
Cos your [F] songs [Am] remind me of [G] swimming,
But [G] somehow [Am] I [F] forgot
[F] I was [Am] sinking, [G] now I'm sunk
And [G] I was [Am] drinking, and [F] now I'm drunk
Your [F] songs [Am] remind me of [G] swimming,
But [G] somehow [Am] I [F] forgot.
I [F] tried to [Am] remember the [G] chorus,
I [G] can't [Am] remember the [F] verse
Cos that [F] song that [Am] sent me [G] swimming,
Is [G] now the life [Am] jacket that [F] burst
[F] Rotting like a [Am] wreck on the [G] ocean floor,
[G] Sinking like a [Am] siren that [F] can't swim anymore
Coz your [F] songs [Am] remind me of [F] swimming,
But I [G] can't swim [Am] [F] anymore
[F] Pull me out the [Am] water, [G] cold and blue,
I [G] open my [Am] eyes and see that it's [G] you,
So I’ll [F] dive straight [Am] back in the [G] ocean
Yes I’ll [G] dive straight [Am] back in the [F] ocean
[F] Take a deep [Am] breath suck the [G] water in my chest
[G] Take a deep [Am] breath suck the [F] water in my chest
Then [F] cross my [Am] [G] fingers,
Then I’ll [G] hope for the best [Am] [F]
[Am] Then all of a sudden, [G] I heard a note,
[F] It started in my chest, and [F] ended in my [G] throat
[Am] Then I realise
[G] Then I realise
[F] Then I realised [F] [G]
I was [F] swimming, yes I was [G] swimming
And now I’m [Am] swimming, yes I am [G] swimming
Your [F] songs [Am] remind me of [G] swimming,
Which I [G] forgot when I [Am] started to [F] sink
Your [F] songs [Am] remind me of [G] swimming
Which I [G] forgot when I [Am] started to [F] sink
Oh your [F] songs [Am] remind me of [G] swimming
Which I [G] forgot when I [Am] [F] started
Your [F] songs [Am] remind me of [G] swimming
Which I [G] forgot when I [Am] [F] started
To [Am] sink.
