Swim

Chords
pin

In order to make it a bit easier to play I mute the 'g' string 
with my thumb on the Ab chords.

          Eb
You gotta swim
              Ab
Swim for your life
             Eb
Swim for the music 

That saves you
                                  Ab
When you're not so sure you'll survive

          Eb
You gotta swim
             Ab
Swim when it hurts
                   Eb
The whole world is watching 

You haven't come this far
                Ab
To fall off the earth

    Bb
The currents will pull you
               Ab
Away from your love

Just keep your head above


                                  
Eb
I found a tidal wave
Bb                      Ab
Begging to tear down the door
Eb
Memories like bullets
     Bb                 Ab
They fired at me from a gun
Eb         Bb
Cracking me open now
Eb
I swim for brighter days
Bb                        Ab
Despite of the absense of sun
Eb         Bb
Choking on salt water
Ab    Eb         Bb
  I'm not giving in


Eb      Ab
Swim
Eb    Ab

                                  
          Eb
You gotta swim
              Ab
Through nights that won't end
              Eb
Swim for your family

Your lovers your sisters
                   Ab
Your brothers and friends
          Eb
You gotta swim
                 Ab
For wars without cause
             Eb
Swim for the lost politicians
                               Ab
Who don't see their greed is a flaw
    Bb
The currents will pull us
              Ab
Away from our love

Just keep your head above


                                    
Eb
I found a tidal wave

They fired at me from a gun
Eb          Bb

Bb                        Ab

  I'm not giving in
Ab    Eb         Bb
  I'm not giving in


Eb    Ab

Eb    Ab


                                   
          Eb
You gotta swim
            Ab
Swim in the dark
                     Eb
There's an ocean to drift in
                                      Ab
Feel the tide shifting away from this war
               Eb
Yeah you gotta swim
                   Ab
Don't let yourself sink
                  Eb
Just follow the horizon
                                 Ab
I promise it's not as far as you think
Bb                                  Ab
Currents will drag us away from our love
                          Eb     Ab
Just keep your head above


                                    

Just keep your head above
Eb        Ab
Swim

Just keep your head above
Eb        Ab
Swim

Just keep your head above
Eb              
Swim
