[Verse]
C You gotta swim F Swim for your life C Swim for the music
That saves you
F When you're not so sure you'll survive C You gotta swim F And swim when it hurts Am The whole world is watching
You haven't come this far
F To fall off the earth G The currents will pull you F Away from your love
Just keep your head above
[Chorus]
C I found a tidal wave G Dm Begging to tear down the dawn C Memories like bullets G Dm They fired at me from a gun Am Cracking me open yeah C I swim for brighter days G Dm Despite the absence of sun Am Choking on salt water F C G I'm not giving in C I Swim
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C You gotta swim F For nights that won’t end C Swim for your families
Your lovers your sisters
F And brothers and friends C Yeah, you gotta swim F For wars without cause Am Swim for the lost politicians F Who don't see their greed is a flaw G The currents will pull us F Away from our love
Just keep your head above
[Chorus 2]
C I found a tidal wave G Dm Begging to tear down the dawn C Memories like bullets G Dm They fired at me from a gun Am Cracking me open yeah C I swim for brighter days G Dm Despite the absence of sun Am Choking on salt water F C G I'm not giving in F C G But I'm not giving in (F) I Swim

[Verse]
C You gotta swim F Swim in the dark C There's an ocean to drift in F Feel the tide shifting away from the spark C Yeah you gotta swim F Don't let yourself sink Am Just follow the horizon F I promise you it's not as far as you think G F The currents will drag us away from our love C F Just keep your head above
Just keep your head above
C F Swim
Just keep your head above
C Swim F Swim
Just keep your head above
