 the to and

to D parts for the verses.

Intro

 Riff x4

Verse 1

 Riff x4

When the summer is young

and nobody has their prices

 Riff x2

No one is no one

 Riff x2

and nobody in a crisis

Chorus

There’s no swimming past the drop-off

or feeling sorry for yourself

Ya don’t go swimming past the drop-off

  Riff Ax4

or else

Verse 2

Yer a pistol, yer a gun

and suddenly I have no prices

I’m like a friend of Dylan’s

our shovels meeting in some crisis

Chorus

 But there’s no swimming past the drop-off

Yea we don’t replace ourselves

Ya don’t go swimming past the drop-off

 or else

Bridge 1

 The fates are amok and spun, measured and cut and the past is meant to please us

 Yer a comet from earth in a Kiss Alive shirt saying, ‘holy fuck, it’s jesus!?’

 The surface is green and the dark interweaves in a lonely iridescence

 It’s terribly deep and the cold is complete and it only lacks a presence

  Riff x4

and nothing else.

Verse 3

When the summer is done

and nobody sympathizes

Yer no friend of Dylan’s

Yea, you won’t see another crisis

Chorus

There’s no swimming past the drop-off

or feeling sorry for ourselves

Ya don’t go swimming past the drop-off

or else

Bridge 2

Personal stakes will get raised and get raised til your story gets compelling

If you lacked the sense or were willfully dense is forever in the telling

The surface is green and the dark interweaves in a lonely iridescence

 It’s terribly deep and the cold is complete and it only lacks a presence

 and nothing else.

 nothing else

 nothing else

 Riff x4

and no one else.

Enjoy!
