[Intro]
E  Emaj7  Aadd9  Asus2     (x2)
 
[Verse]
          E                   A5*
You gotta swim, swim for your life
             E                                                      A5*
Swim for the music that saves you when you're not so sure you'll survive 
           E  Emaj7              Aadd9  Asus2
You gotta swim, and swim when it hurts 
                     C#m                                  Bsus4        A5*                  
The whole world is watching, you haven't come this far to fall off the earth 
    Bsus4                                  A
The currents will pull you away from your love.. Just keep your head above
 
[Chorus]
E                    B                        F#m
I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the dawn 
E                           B                  F#m  C#m
Memories like bullets, they fired at me from a gun, cracking me open, yeah 
E                        B                      F#m  C#m
I swim for brighter days despite the absence of sun, choking on salt water 
A     E          B      (E)
  I'm not giving in, I swim

[Verse 2]
           E                         A5*
You gotta swim for nights that won’t end 
                  E                                                  A5*
Swim for your families, your lovers, your sisters and brothers and friends 
                  E Emaj7             Aadd9  Asus2
Yeah, you gotta swim for wars without cause 
             C#m                                  Bsus4      A5*
Swim for the lost politicians who don't see their greed is a flaw 
    Bsus4                                  A
The currents will pull you away from your love.. Just keep your head above
 
[Chorus]
E                    B                        F#m
I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the dawn 
E                           B                  F#m  C#m
Memories like bullets, they fired at me from a gun, cracking me open, yeah 
E                        B                      F#m  C#m
I swim for brighter days despite the absence of sun, choking on salt water 
A     E          B      (A)
  I'm not giving in, I swim
 
[Solo]
A        E         B    (x2)
 
[Verse]
           E                A5*
You gotta swim, swim in the dark 
                    C#m                                            A5*
There's an ocean to drift in, feel the tide shifting away from the spark 
                E                        A5*
Yeah you gotta swim, don't let yourself sink 
                  C#m                                           A
Just follow the horizon, I promise you it's not as far as you think 
        B                                    A
And the currents will drag us away from our love, just keep your head above 

[Outro]
E  Emaj7  Aadd9  Asus2                       (E)
                 Just keep your head above, swim
E  Emaj7  Aadd9  Asus2                       (E)
                 Just keep your head above, swim
E  Emaj7  Aadd9  Asus2                       (E)
          Swim,  just keep your head above, swim
