Introduction:
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 G
It started in my chest, and ended in my throat
Am
Then I realise
G
Then I realise

Then I realised
F G
I was swimming, yes I was swimming
Am G
And now I'm swimming, yes I am swimming

To sink.
