[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
[Instrumental]

[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

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]

Just keep your head above, swim

Swim, just keep your head above, swim
