Swimming Upstream

C Em F G7 X2


[Verse 1]
                C
Well I've been living in a dream 
that I can't wake up from
Swimming upstream I can't get to the
  F
 sea
                     C
Where the fish swim free

     C
And staring at a screen that I don't
 get much from
Staring so long, can't see wood from
     F
 the trees
                     C
Or the birds from the bees


     G
And half of the time well it flies 
right by
     F                             
Like childhood did In the blink of 
            C
an eye

    G
And half of the time, well it goes 
so slow
   F                             
I sit outside and watch the grass 
        C
grow

[Verse 2]
                 C
Well I've been running on a 
treadmill, legs like lead

Will there ever be a needle for this
 thread
          F                       C
I've been weaving since I was born?

          C
And the papers read and the 
government said

I should stay in bed to stop the 
virus spread
           F                 C
I won't be leaving for so long

      G
Well some nights I feel okay
   F                               C
I close my eyes and I drift away
G                                 
Some nights I just lay and stare 
      F
at the ceiling
                            C
Like it's gonna go somewhere


[Chorus]
C Em F G7

           C  Em  F  G7
Swimming upstream
           C  Em  F  G7
Swimming upstream


[Middle 8]
Dm                             G7
  Oh and I keep swimming but I go 
nowhere
E                               
  It's all the same when I come up 
Am
for air
F                      G7
  And I just can't get there

N.C.


[Chorus]

Swimming upstream      Stream
