Standard (EADGBE)

Intro – / / / / /

Your songs remind me of swimming,

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Dragged 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, and now I'm drunk

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 anymore

Coz your songs remind me of swimming,

But I can't swim anymore

Pull me out the water, cold and blue,

I open my eyes and see that it's you,

So I’ll dive straight back in the ocean

Yes I’ll dive straight back in the ocean

Take a deep breath suck the water in my chest

Take a deep breath suck the water in my chest

Then cross my fingers,

Then I’ll hope for the best

Then all of a sudden, I heard a note,

It started in my chest, and ended in my throat

Then I realise

Then I realise

Then I realised

I was swimming, yes I was swimming

And now I’m swimming, yes I am swimming

Your songs remind me of swimming,

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Oh your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started

To sink.
