Swim Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Sink to the bottom
Only to wind up belly-up [C]on on
your bedroom [G]floor
Innocuous [D]form
I'm in the water half of the day
But still, you [C]wade till I'm ready to [G]float
And carry me home

[Verse 2]
[D]We'll be alright in the morning
When the world is on fire we'll
be treading in the yard
[C]Till I'm ready to float
[G]And you carry me home
We're dan[D]cing outside in the purple dark
By the blood that we shed on the boulevard
I [C]know that you carry me [G]home
You carry me [D]home [G]to swim[D]
(Swim, swim, [Am]to sw[G]im[D])

[Verse 3]
Locked to the love [D]seat
Flash me your front teeth
It's cherry and [C]bone,
cherry [G]and [D]bone
You are the athlete
I am the astronaut,
for [C]thousands of miles afloat
[G]Still, you carry me home

[Verse 4]
[D]We'll be alright in the morning
When the world is on fire we'll
be treading in the [C]yard
'Till I'm ready to float
[G]And you carry me home
and we're dan[D]cing outside
in the purple dark
By the blood that we shed on the boulevard
I [C]know that you carry me [G]home
You carry me home [D]to swim, (swim)
The world is on [Am]fire
(and you carry me)
[G]And I'm ready to
(carry me home)
[D]To swim, swim
The world is on [Am]fire and
I'm ready [G]to float

[Verse 5]
[D]Goodbye to my mother whose
body [C]I l[G]ived in
Turned [D]blood into water and
[Am]taught me to swim
[G]

[Verse 6]
[D]We'll be alright in the morning
When the world is on fire we'll
be treading in the [C]yard
Till I'm ready to float
[G]And you carry me home
We're dan[D]cing outside
in the purple darke
By the blood that we shed on the boulevard
I [C]know that you carry me home
[G]And you carry me home to swim
[D](Swim, to swim)
[Am]Carry [C]me [Am]home [C](t[G]o swim)
