[Intro]
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
Ooh, ooh
Gmaj7 Dmaj7 A
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh
Gmaj7 D F#m A E
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Bm F#m G
I was treading on the beach
D Em
Summer underneath my feet
F#m Bm
Somewhere I'd never seen
F#m G
Mama led me by the hand
D Em
'Til the grit stuck with the damp
F#m G
And the foam fizzed adrift
A
When we both strode in
[Pre-Chorus]
Em A
I can feel the detritus lifting
Em A Em
And I moved like I knew that I was free again
A
Then before thinking I ventured out
[Chorus]
Gmaj7
Swimming
F#m Bm
Across the sea
Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm
The current battles way down below me
Gmaj7
Drifting
F#m7 E7
But holding on
A D E F#
I keep my head up to watch the shore
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
Ooh, ooh
Gmaj7 Dmaj7 A
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh
Gmaj7 D G F#m E
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Bm F#m G
After many years had passed
D Em
Hoping I would find the path
F#m Bm
I arrived at the start
F#m G
In the shadow of a cliff
D Em
Memories floating in the wind
F#m G
I squared up to the tide
A
On my own this time
[Pre-Chorus]
Em A
I can feel the detritus lifting
Em A Em7
While a teardrop tickled as it ran away
A
But it got lost in the wash I tossed
[Interlude]
Gmaj7 (strum once)
Swimming
Dmaj7 (strum once)
Across the sea
Em7 (strum once)
I get the feeling
Bm7 Am7
I always have been
[Chorus]
Gmaj7
Swimming
F#m7 Bm7
Across the sea
Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7
The current battles way down below me
Gmaj7
Drifting
F#m7 E7
But holding on
A D E F#
I keep my head up to watch the shore
[Outro]
Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm
Swimming
Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm
Gmaj7 F#m7 E7
Swimming
A D E F#
