Learn To Swim

Tom: D

  A
I tried to drink a different kind of coffee in the morning
         A7
But I couldn't even swallow it cuz thats not how I like it
       D                   Dm
Oh I swear down, swear down
      A
Feel like I'm in denial cuz the only time I smile
            A7
Is when everything around me is exactly how it was
      D              Dm
Yeah just so, just so

       A
And I can't seem to focus when everything around me
        A7
Is changing all the time, all the time
                 D      Dm
And I can't keep up, mmm
A
Always reminiscing but I feel like I am missing out
    A7
Cuz I just want yesterday
                          D          Dm
but yesterday I felt so down, so down

      N.C.                                                                  N.C.
If I just keep my foot on the pedal then I won't go anywhere I'll just crash


[Chorus]
A                  A7
Head fills up with water
                          D
Keeping me away from the deep end
                        Dm
Looks like another wet weekend

A                   A7
Head fills up with water
                         D
So when will I learn to swim
                           Dm
My brain is filled to the brim


[Verse 2]
A
Tried to dip my toes in the water but it's too cold
A7                               D
I slipped accidental then I fell in
                Dm
Take it on the chin
         A
And it turns out it's not all that bad
      A7
I'm scared of the dark
                           D                        Dm
But the dark never bites back, I should learn from that


[Chorus]
But everytime oh my
A                  A7
Head fills up with water
                           D
Keeping me away from the deep end (deep end)
                          Dm
Looks like another wet weekend (weekend)

A                  A7
Head fills up with water
                        D
So when will I learn to swim
                          Dm
My brain is filled to the brim (backstroking into the bridge)


[Bridge]

F#m
Here comes inertia once again
B
Once again she's pulling me back
A
G-got her hands wrapped around my neck
B
And my head feels like the ocean (x2)


[Chorus]
A                   A7
Head fills up with water
                          D
Keeping me away from the deep end (deep end, deep end, deep end)

Dm
Oh, my

A                  A7
Head fills up with water
                          D
Keeping me away from the deep end
                        Dm
Looks like another wet weekend (oh)

A                   A7
Head fills up with water
                         D
So when will I learn to swim
                          Dm
My brain is filled to the brim (the brim, the brim, the brim, oh)
