Swim Tab

by Jacks Mannequin


What a beautiful song!...it's giving me chills
the tabs I found wasn't sounding right to my ears so that's my version
these are only the basic chords but use fantasy as you wish...

Capo on 3

Intro:
  


Verse:       
            
You gotta swim 
               
Swim for your life
                
Swim for the music 
That saves you 
                                  
When you're not so sure you'll survive 
           
You gotta swim 
                   
And swim when it hurts 
                     
The whole world is watching 
You haven't come this far 
                  
To fall off the earth 
    
The currents will pull you 
                
Away from your love 
Just keep your head above 

Chorus:

I found a tidal wave 
                         
Begging to tear down the dawn 

Memories like bullets 
                        
They fired at me from a gun 
()
Cracking me open yeah 
                    
I swim for brighter days 
                       
Despite the absence of sun 
()
Choking on salt water 
             
I'm not giving in 
    
I Swim


           

Verse2:
           
You gotta swim 
                       
For nights that won’t end 
                  
Swim for your families 
Your lovers your sisters 
                    
And brothers and friends 
                  
Yeah, you gotta swim 
                   
For wars without cause 
                       
Swim for the lost politicians 
                                
Who don't see their greed is a flaw 
     
The currents will pull us 
                
Away from our love
Just keep your head above
 

Chorus  2:

I found a tidal wave 
                                ()
Begging to tear down the dawn 
        
Memories like bullets 
                        
They fired at me from a gun 
()
Cracking me open yeah 

I swim for brighter days 
                       
Despite the absence of sun 
           ()
Choking on salt water 
             
I'm not giving in
                 
But I'm not giving in 
    
I Swim


Solo:
                 
           

Final Verse:
                    
You gotta swim 
             
Swim in the dark 
                     
There's an ocean to drift in 
                                       
Feel the tide shifting away from the spark 
                
Yeah you gotta swim 
                    
Don't let yourself sink 
                  
Just follow the horizon 
                                       
I promise you it's not as far as you think 
                                        
The currents will drag us away from our love 

                            
Just keep your head above 
                        
Just keep your head above 
   
Swim              
Just keep your head above 
  
Swim

Swim 
Just keep your head above 
   
Swim
