Swimming

Florence + The Machine

Composed by: Florence Welch / Steve Mackey / Alex James
key: C Tuning: E A D G B E
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


Am                    F
Then all of a sudden, I heard a note,
C                          G
It started in my chest and ended in my throat
