Florence And The Machine - Swimming

F C G
your songs remind me of swimming ,
G F C
which i forgot when i started to sink

drank further away from the shore ,

and deeper into the drink

sat on the bottom of the ocean ,

a stern and stubborn rock

cos your songs remind me of swimming ,

but somehow i forgot

i was sinking , now i’m sunk

and i was drinking , now i’m drunk

cos your songs remind me of swimming ,

but somehow i forgot

i tried to remember the chorus ,

i can’t remember the verse

cos that song that sent me swimming ,

is now the life jacket that burst

rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor ,

sinking like a siren that can’t swim no more

your songs remind me of swimming ,

but i can’t swim any more

then all of a sudden , i heard a note ,
C G
it started in my chest and ended in my throat

then i realised i was swimming ,

and then i realised i was swimming ,

and then i realised i was swimming ,

and then i realised i was swimming

pull me out the water , cold and blue ,

i open my eyes and i see that it’s you ,

so i dive straight back in the ocean

take a deep breath , tuck the water in my chest

cross my fingers and hope for the best

oh , take a deep breath , tuck the water in my chest ,

cross my fingers and hope for the best

then all of a sudden , i heard a note ,

it started in my chest and ended in my throat

and then i realised i was swimming ,

and then i realised i was swimming ,

and then i realised i was swimming ,

and then i realised i was swimming
