[Verse 1]
    D                        G
I feed from the bottom you feed from the top
    D                       G
I live upon morsels you happen to drop
        E                      A
And coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup
      D                           G
If nothing comes down then I’m forced to swim up
 D                        G
On the way upwards the colors come back
      D                    G
But all on the bottom is blue, gray and black
      E                       A
The darkness is cold and perception goes wrong
         D                      G
And the night seems to go on incredibly long


[Chorus]
      D          C G
So I ask you why
         D         C G
If I’m swimming by
   Am            Bm       C            D
Don’t you see anything you’d like to try?


[Verse 2]
   D                    G
Pantomime mixtures of heaven and earth
   D                       G
Jumbled events that have less than no worth
  E                    A
Time in the forest to dig under rocks
  D                      G
Float in the ocean and sleep in a box
     D                        G
Or sink just below all the churning and froth
      D                           G
And swim to the light-source, or fly like a moth
     E                        A
So toss away stuff you won’t need in the end
      D                           G
But keep what’s important – and know who’s your friend


[Chorus]
       D          C G
So I ask you why
           D        C G
If I’m swimming by
   Am           Bm        C             D   C G
Don’t you see anything you’d like to try?
         D           C G
If I'm swimming by

From the bottom, from the top

From the bottom, from the top...
