[Verse 1]
C G D
Slide into the cool mud
G G D C
Underneath the pines
C G D
Somewhere to your right or left
G D C
Is my body you can find
[Chorus]
C G D
We are swimming with no clothes on
G D C
In a river in the dark
C G D
And I am holding on to you, boy
G D C
In the faint light of the stars
[Verse 2]
C G D
So you wade out across the marsh
G D C
Water up to your waist
C G D
Carry our stuff above your head
G D C
Till the dune comes to a crest
[Chorus]
C G D
We are swimming with no clothes on
G D C
In a river in the dark
C G D
And I am holding on to you, boy
G D C
In the faint light of the stars
[Bridge]
C G
But sometimes I feel it
D
In a dream I know I've been there
G G D
We were sleeping by the ocean
C
We were laughing on the warm sand
C G
We stay up all night
D
And we wake up in the sunlight
G D
We got dreams we keep together
C
We got time to spend, oh, hell yeah
[Chorus]
C G D
We are swimming with no clothes on
G G D C
In a river in the dark
C G D
And I am holding on to you, boy
In the faint light of the stars
[Outro]
C C G D
We are lying On the beach now
G D C
Everything is warm We are staying up
G G D C
C G D
Through a wild night In the faint light
G G D C
Of the headlights Of passing cars
