Can't Swim


Tom: E

D
Planes and trains took you away
D
were never ending
                E
chasing with no consequence
D
your new obsession
F#m
you always went alone
E                 D
Would trust in anyone
F#m     E                   D
how far must I go to forget where you're from

[Chorus]
B      D                                  F#m       E
oh god I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger
B          D                  A
and I know the farther you go I'll need you closer
B      D                                  F#m      E
oh god I always felt like you were such a strange, a stranger

[Verse 2]
E           D                               A
from a tale of a life that I once called my own
D                  E           D
with the fear that you'd escape
D
my contradiction
                E              D
could this be a lesson learned or all for nothing
F#m                 E                   D
oh will I ever feel what I felt with anyone
F#m          E                   D
how far must I go to forget what I've done

[Chorus]
B      D                                  F#m       E
oh god I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger
B          D                  A
and I know the farther you go I'll need you closer, closer
B      D                                  F#m       E
oh god I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger
D
from a tale of a life that I once called my own

[Solo]
A E G#m D

[Bridge]
D                        E                 D
and you wonder how you'd ever fathomed how you would be content
      F#m                 E           D
would the places that you traveled to someday be filled with friends
         F#m             E                   D
that you threw away back home and said you'd find them all again
F#m             E             D
would I just be just like them
N.C.
a replacement in the end

[Interlude]
B D F#m
E                    B  D A
A replacement in the end, yeah!

[Chorus]
B      D                                  F#m       E
Oh god I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger
B          D                                A               D
and I know the farther you go I'll need you closer, closer, closer
B      D                                  F#m       E
oh god I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger
D           F#m            D                A
from a tale of a life that I once called my own
