Florence and the Machine - Swimming F 133211 Am x02210 G 355433 [Intro] F / Am / G / / / G / Am / F / / /
     F       Am         G
Your songs remind me of swimming,

           G          Am         F
Which I forgot when I started to sink

        F        Am           G
Dragged further away from the shore,

    G      Am       F
And deeper into the drink

F          Am            G
Sat on the bottom of the ocean,

  G         Am       F
A stern and stubborn rock

         F       Am         G
Cos your songs remind me of swimming,

    G       Am   F
But somehow I forgot

F     Am       G
I was sinking, now I'm sunk

    G     Am            F
And I was drinking, and now I'm drunk

     F       Am         G
Your songs remind me of swimming,

    G       Am    F
But somehow I forgot.

  F        Am           G
I tried to remember the chorus,

  G       Am         F
I can't remember the verse

         F         Am      G
Cos that song that sent me swimming,

   G              Am        F
Is now the life jacket that burst

F              Am           G
Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor,

G              Am         F
Sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore

         F       Am         F
Coz your songs remind me of swimming,

      G          Am F
But I can't swim anymore

F               Am     G
Pull me out the water, cold and blue,

  G       Am                     G
I open my eyes and see that it's you,

        F             Am          G
So I’ll dive straight back in the ocean

         G             Am          F
Yes I’ll dive straight back in the ocean

F           Am              G
Take a deep breath suck the water in my chest

G           Am              F
Take a deep breath suck the water in my chest

    F            Am         G
Then cross my fingers,

          G                 Am      F
Then I’ll hope for the best

Am                   G
Then all of a sudden, I heard a note,

F                           F           G
It started in my chest, and ended in my throat

Am
Then I realise

G
Then I realise

F                F / /  G / /
Then I realised

      F                   G
I was swimming, yes I was swimming

            Am                G
And now I’m swimming, yes I am swimming

     F        Am        G
Your songs remind me of swimming,

           G          Am         F
Which I forgot when I started to sink

     F        Am        G
Your songs remind me of swimming

           G          Am         F
Which I forgot when I started to sink

        F        Am        G
Oh your songs remind me of swimming

           G          Am          F
Which I forgot when I started…

     F       Am         G
Your songs remind me of swimming

        G             Am        F
Which I forgot when I started

   Am ///  ///  ///  ///
To sink.
