    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
[Bridge] Am Bm C Bm Am Bm D
D
(vamp)
D C G [Outro]
  D
From the bottom, from the top

  C                 G
From the bottom, from the top...
