Tabbed by: Sam Rayner G D Em C D C We salute at the threshold of the North Sea in my mind G D Em C D C And the nautical board-man that drove me here to face the tide and G C5 G G C5 G G C5 G G C5 Swim I swim I swim G D Em C D C Dip the toe in the ocean. Oh how it hardens and it numbs G D Em C D C And the rest of me is a burgeoned man built to collapse into crumbs G D Em C D C And if I hadn't come down to the coast to disappear G D Em C D C I may have died in a land-slide of the rocks, the hopes and fears.

Do I dive? G D Em C D C The sea has seen my like before though it's my first and perhaps last time. G D Em C D C Let's call me a baptist, call this the drowning of the past G D Em C D C She's there on the shoreline throwing stones at my back G C5 G So swim until you can't see land | G C5 G Swim until you can't see land | G C5 G X2 Swim until you can't see land | D C Are you a man, are you a bag of sand? | BRIDGE (X2) G D Em C D C Now the water's taller than me and the land is a marker line G D Em C D C All I am is a body adrift in water, salt and sky G C5 G So swim until you can't see land | G C5 G Swim until you can't see land | G C5 G X2 Swim until you can't see land | D C Are you a man, are you a bag of sand? | D C Are you a man, are you a bag of sand?
