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
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

For wars without cause

Swim for the lost politicians
Ab
Who don't see their greed is a flaw

The currents will pull us
Ab
Away from our love
Just keep your head above

There's an ocean to drift in

Feel the tide shifting away from this war

Don't let yourself sink

Currents will drag us away from our love
