[Intro]
C Am F Fm
[Verse 1]
C
So they say
Am
There are other fishes in the sea
F
But the only one that's missing
Fm
is the one that swims for me.
C
And so you say,
Am
"Oh dear just wait patiently,
F Fm
Love will come along, eventually."
[Chorus 1]
F G C
So I tried to swim against the current
F G C Am
To live my life and let me be
F G
So don't cast me a line
C G F
'cause I've run out of time
F G C
To live a lie
[Verse 2]
C
I can't deny
Am
You've hooked me so deep again
F
With your smart and witty lines
Fm
You have soiled my disguise
C
and then the waves
Am
oh the waves they come crashing down
F
when I see the look in your eyes
Fm
when you're watching her walk by
[Bridge 1]
F G C F
"If you're looking to fit in then join the rest
F G C F
'Cause you know you'll only end up second best"
Fm
They said,
[Chorus 2]
F G C
If you want to swim along the current,
F G C Am
then act and speak the way we do
F G
You may be untrue
C G F
but if you'd rather be us
F G C
Then why be you.
[Bridge 2]
F G Am
What a beautiful lie
F G Am
What a beautiful lie
F G Am
What a beautiful lie,
F
to live.
[Chorus 3]
F G C
So I've learned to swim against the current
F G C Am
To live my life and now I'm free
F G
Because honestly,
C G F
there's no one else I'd rather be.
F G C
So watch me leave
