C5          C5    G5
Where were you when I was lonesome?
C5       C5       G5
Locked away in this freezing cold
C5       C5   G5
Someone flying, only stolen,
C5       C5      G5
I can't tell, this night's so old,

C5       C5 G5
I don't wanna swim the ocean,
C5       C5 G5
I don't wanna fight the tide
C5       C5 G5
I don't wanna swim forever,
C5         C5    G5
when it's cold I'd like to die.

C5                 G5
What was that, my sweet sweet nothing?
C5       C5    G5
I can't hear you through the fog
C5    C5  G5
If I holler let me go,
C5    C5  G5
if I falter let me know

C5       C5 G5
I don't wanna swim the ocean,
C5       C5 G5
I don't wanna fight the tide
C5       C5 G5
I don't wanna swim forever,
C5         C5    G5
when it's cold I'd like to die

C5       C5 G5
I don't wanna swim forever,
C5       C5 G5
I don't wanna fight the tide
C5       C5 G5
I don't wanna swim the ocean,
C5         C5    G5
when it's cold I'd like to die

C5       C5 G5
I don't wanna swim forever,
C5       C5 G5
I don't wanna fight the tide . . .
