Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro – / / / / /

 Your songs remind me of swimming,

 Which I forgot when I started to sink

 Dragged 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, and now I'm drunk

 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 anymore

 Coz your songs remind me of swimming,

 But I can't swim anymore

Pull me out the water, cold and blue,

 I open my eyes and see that it's you,

 So I’ll dive straight back in the ocean

 Yes I’ll dive straight back in the ocean

Take a deep breath suck the water in my chest

Take a deep breath suck the water in my chest

 Then cross my fingers,

 Then I’ll hope for the best

Then all of a sudden, I heard a note,

It started in my chest, and ended in my throat

Then I realise

Then I realise

Then I realised

 I was swimming, yes I was swimming

 And now I’m swimming, yes I am swimming

 Your songs remind me of swimming,

 Which I forgot when I started to sink

 Your songs remind me of swimming

 Which I forgot when I started to sink

 Oh your songs remind me of swimming

 Which I forgot when I started

 Your songs remind me of swimming

 Which I forgot when I started

 To sink.
