[Intro]
GC9 GD
[Verse 1]
GC9D Night - swimming... GC9A9* deserves a quiet night. C9D The.. GC9D photograph on the dashboard, GC9A9* taken years ago, C9D turned around backwards so the windshield shows. GC9D Every streetlight reveals the GC9A9* picture in re-verse. C9D Still it's so much clearer. GC9D I forgot my shirt at the GC9A9* water's edge. The moon is low to- C9D -night.
[Instrumental]
GC9 GD
[Verse 2]
GC9D Night - swimming... GC9A9* deserves a quiet night. I’m C9D not sure all these people under- GC9D -stand. It’s not like years GC9A9* ago. The fear of getting C9D caught, of recklessness and GC9D water. They cannot see me GC9A9* naked. These things they go C9D away, replaced by every(day).
[Verse 3]
GC9D -day. Night - swimming... GC9A9* remembering that night. Sep- C9D -tember's coming soon. I'm GC9D pining for the moon. And GC9A9* what if there were two side by C9D side in orbit around the fairest GC9D sun? That bright, tight for- GC9A9* -ever drum cannot describe night- C9D swimming.
[Verse 4]
GC9D You, I thought I knew you. GC9A9* You, I can-not judge. C9D You, I thought you knew me. This one’s GC9D laughing quiet-ly under- GC9A9* -neath my breath. Night- C9D swimming.

[Verse 5]
GC9D photograph re-flects every GC9A9* streetlight a reminder. Night- C9D -swimming de-serves a quiet GC9D night. GC9A9* de-serves a quiet C9D night.
I found the previous tab hard to follow and played around with the chords a little to get the rhythm down first. In doing so, I discovered that by simply removing the A note off the C chord it sounded closer to the song. Then, by changing the C to a Cadd9 and doing the same thing, song became extremely simple to play and still sounds great (on my guitar, actually better this way, to me). Thus creating the Aadd9 (A9)* for lack of a name. (Sure you'll let me know the real chord)
I show the basic Intro and Verse progressions above. I suggest just strumming until you get the rhythm down as it's not a very complicated song. Then by adding in base lines especially on the G chords, and using some middle string strumming you can make things a bit more interesting. Anyways, I love this song and give thanks and credit to for the original post. If you're looking, this is a great acoustic solo-artist song.
(Hopefully, this version works with formatting, else I give up - sorry for the previous one)
