Tabbed by: Sam Rayner G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 C5 We salute at the threshold of the North Sea in my mind G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 C5 And the nautical board-man that drove me here to face the tide and G5 C5 G5 G5 C5 G5 G5 C5 G5 G5 C5 Swim I swim I swim G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 C5 Dip the toe in the ocean. Oh how it hardens and it numbs G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 C5 And the rest of me is a burgeoned man built to collapse into crumbs G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 C5 And if I hadn't come down to the coast to disappear G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 C5 I may have died in a land-slide of the rocks, the hopes and fears. G5 C5 G5 So swim until you can't see land | G5 C5 G5 Swim until you can't see land | G5 C5 G5 X2 Swim until you can't see land | D5 C5 Are you a man, are you a bag of sand? | G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 C5 (X2) G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 C5 Up to my knees now, do I wait? Do I dive? G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 C5 The sea has seen my like before though it's my first and perhaps last time. G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 C5 Let's call me a baptist, call this the drowning of the past G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 C5 She's there on the shoreline throwing stones at my back G5 C5 G5 So swim until you can't see land | G5 C5 G5 Swim until you can't see land | G5 C5 G5 X2 Swim until you can't see land | D5 C5 Are you a man, are you a bag of sand? | BRIDGE (X2) G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 C5 Now the water's taller than me and the land is a marker line G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 C5 All I am is a body adrift in water, salt and sky G5 C5 G5 So swim until you can't see land | G5 C5 G5 Swim until you can't see land | G5 C5 G5 X2 Swim until you can't see land | D5 C5 Are you a man, are you a bag of sand? | D5 C5 Are you a man, are you a bag of sand? D5 C5 Are you a man, are you a bag of sand? D5 C5 Are you a man, are you a bag of sand? D5 C5 G5 Are you a man, are you a bag of sand?
