[Intro] GFEmEmEm
[Verse] EmAAsus4AAsus2A Finding fossils on the hillside EmAAsus4AAsus2A While the sun strikes him down to his knees C/GGFEmEm Where his great grandfather’s sweat Swallowed up left for dust
[Verse] EmAAsus4AAsus2A Just to escape push the pain to right EmAAsus4AAsus2A Sketches a wave in the soil C/GGF One drop on his dry, dry lips GDC/GC/G Before he goes inflamed and insane
[Chorus] GDAmC/G Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea GDAmC/G Dreams about swimming, And the moon brings him back GDAmC/G Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea GFEmEm While the moon stems the tide in his heart
[Verse] EmAAsus4AAsus2A Cast iron and recall EmAAsus4AAsus2A The ore pouring deep in the vein CCGF As the years of searing heat, ‘till all is just salt EmDC/GC/G That is left in the bed where he sleeps
[Chorus] GDAmC/G Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea GDAmC/G Dreams about swimming, Though he’s miles from the sea GDAmC/G Dreams about falling, From the sky through the sea GDAmC/G Dreams about drowning, While the moon looks away
[Bridge] DAmAm/CDAm History unheard, silent like the waves CGDC A graveyard for the giants, that was his eye, dry is his heart
[Chorus] GDAmC/G Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea GDAmC/G Dreams about swimming, Though he’s miles from the sea GDAmC/G Dreams about falling, From the sky through the sea GFEmDC While the moon lays out a bed, Of bones to call home
