[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]
[G]

[Verse 1]
You gotta [D]swim
Swim for your [G]life
Swim for the mu[D]sic
That saves you
When you're not so sure
you'll sur[G]vive
You gotta [D]swim
Swim when it [G]hurts
The whole world is [Bm]watching
You haven't come this far
To fall off [G]the earth

[Verse 2]
The [A]currents will pull you
Away from your [G]love

[Verse 3]
Just keep your head above
[D]I found a tidal wave
[A]Begging to tear down the [Em]door
[D]Memories like bullets
They [A]fired at me from [Em]a gun
[Bm]Cracking me [Em]open now
[D]I swim to brighter days
[A]Despite the absence [Em]of sun
Chok[Bm]ing on salt water
[G]I'm not[D] giving in[A]

[Interlude 1]
You gotta swim
[D][G][D]
[G]

[Verse 4]
You gotta [D]swim
For nights that won't [G]en d
Swim for your fam[D]ily
Your [A]lovers [D]your sisters
Your brothers [A]your friends[G]
You gotta [D]swim
For wars without [G]cause
Swim for [Bm]these lost politicians
Who don't see their greed is a flaw
[G]

[Verse 5]
The [A]currents will pull us
Away from our [G]love

[Verse 6]
Just keep your head above
[D]I found a tidal wave
[A]Begging to tear down the [Em]door
[D]Memories like bullets
They [A]fired at me from [Em]a gun
[Bm]Cracking me [Em]open [D]now
I swim to brighter days
[A]In spite of the absence of [Em]sun
[Bm]Choking on salt [G]water
I'm [D]not giving [A]in[G]
I'm [D]not giving [A]in
[G]Swim

[Interlude 2]
[D][A][G][D][A]

[Verse 7]
You gotta [D]swim
Swim in [G]the dark
There's an ocean to [Bm]drift in
Feel the tide shifting away from this [G]war
Yeah you gotta [D]swim
Don't let yourself [G]sink
Just follow the hori[Bm]zon
I promise you it's not as far as you think
[G]

[Verse 8]
Cur[A]rents will drag us away from our [G]love
Just keep your head [D]above[G]
Just keep your head above
[D]Swim[G]
Just keep your head above
[D]Swim[G]
Just keep your head above
[D]Swim
[G]
