Owl City - Swimming In Miami

artist : owl city
album : of june
song : swimming in miami

key : A

verse 1 :
A E D
i’m alone above the atmosphere
A E
and no one looking up can find me here
F#m D
cause i can close my eyes , and disappear
A E D
when i climb the stairs to watch the sun
A E
above station walls , the colors run
F#m D
to fill the swimming pool when i Am done
E F#m A D E
i Am the captain of an oil tanker that travels through your veins

verse 2 :
A E D
when the satellites hang all around
A E
and i can finally hear the lovely sound
F#m D
when all the engines in the backroom die down
A E D
all the airships move across the sky
A E
and my equipment just keeps standing by
F#m D
the planets glow and intensify
E F#m A D E
i Am the pilot of a cargo airplane that travels through your veins

chorus 1 :
Bm A E
when you are lying half asleep in your room
Bm A E
unaware if it is midnight or afternoon
Bm A E
because the water doesn’t flood the stairwell
Bm A E
it could be raining but then you can never tell
Bm A E
if you’re alone in this awful downpour
Bm A E
then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door

verse 3 ( as verses 1 & 2 )
in the evening light the boulevard
conceals the night with disregard
for all the workers in a west coast ship yard
when i rearrange the silverware
and re – install the lights and captian’s chair
i’ll lift the ceiling off to breathe the ocean air

i Am the engineer of forty freight trains that travels through your veins

chorus 2 :
Bm A E
when you are lying half asleep in your room
Bm A E
unaware if it is midnight or afternoon
Bm A E
because the water doesn’t flood the stairwell
Bm A E
it could be raining but then you can never tell
Bm A E
if you’re awake in this awful downpour
Bm A E
then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door
Bm A E F#m
when you are swimming in miami at night
Bm A E
and all around you are the traffic and city lights

ending : A , E , D
