Intro –         F / C / G / / / 
                G / C / F / / / 

     F       C          G
Your songs remind me of swimming,
           G          C          F 
Which I forgot when I started to sink
        F        C            G  
Dragged further away from the shore,
    G      C        F
And deeper into the drink


F          C             G
Sat on the bottom of the ocean,
  G         C        F
A stern and stubborn rock
         F       C          G 
Cos your songs remind me of swimming,
    G       C    F
But somehow I forgot

     
F     C        G    
I was sinking, now I'm sunk
    G     C             F
And I was drinking, and now I'm drunk
     F       C          G
Your songs remind me of swimming,
    G       C     F
But somehow I forgot.

  F        C            G
I tried to remember the chorus,
  G       C          F
I can't remember the verse
         F         C       G
Cos that song that sent me swimming,
   G              C         F
Is now the life jacket that burst


F              C            G
Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor,
G              C          F
Sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore
         F       C          F
Coz your songs remind me of swimming,
      G          C  F
But I can't swim anymore

F               C      G
Pull me out the water, cold and blue,
  G       C                      G         
I open my eyes and see that it's you,
        F             C           G
So I’ll dive straight back in the ocean
         G             C           F
Yes I’ll dive straight back in the ocean

F           C               G
Take a deep breath suck the water in my chest
G           C               F
Take a deep breath suck the water in my chest
    F            C          G
Then cross my fingers, 
          G                 C       F
Then I’ll hope for the best


Am                    G
Then all of a sudden, I heard a note,
F                           F           G
It started in my chest, and ended in my throat
Am
Then I realise
G
Then I realise
F                F / /  G / / 
Then I realised 
      F                   G
I was swimming, yes I was swimming
            Am                 G
And now I’m swimming, yes I am swimming

     F        C         G 
Your songs remind me of swimming,
           G          C          F   
Which I forgot when I started to sink
     F        C         G  
Your songs remind me of swimming
           G          C          F
Which I forgot when I started to sink
        F        C         G   
Oh your songs remind me of swimming
           G          C           F
Which I forgot when I started… 
     F       C          G
Your songs remind me of swimming
        G             C         F 
Which I forgot when I started 

   Am///  ///  ///  ///
To sink.
