G#m
Oh me oh my
E
How large a desire
B
To run from the streets in only our sheets
C#m
Kicking our shoes off and playing in the heat
G#m
I would watch a bead of sweat drip down
E
Tracing the curves of yourself frown
BC#m
Forward for win or forward for war
E
Because we should be swimming
G#m
Going long into the night as if we were different
C#m
We Should be swimming
E
Oh we should be swimming
G#m
Going long into the night as if we were different
BC#m
We should be swimming
G#m
Oh me oh my
E
I'm feverish with this life
B
Stumbling through hoops tripping over these loops
C#m
Pushed by the pen and forced by the boots
G#m
So I look to you for some release
E
Touched things aside in such a peace
BC#m
Boozing your hand so hard I squeeze
E
Because we should be swimming
G#m
Going long into the night as if we were different
C#m
We Should be swimming
E
Oh we should be swimming
G#m
Going long into the night as if we were different
BC#m
We should be swimming
G#m
Hold your breath
C#m
Float down to this sea bed
E
Then we'll see how long we can sleep
G#m
Hold your breath
C#m
Float down to this sea bed
E
Then we'll see how long we can sleep
G#m
Hold your breath
C#m
Float down to this sea bed
E
Then we'll see how long we can sleep
G#m
Hold your breath
C#m
Float down to this sea bed
E
Then we'll see how long we can sleep
E - B - C#m (REPEAT 2x)
E
Because we should be swimming
G#m
Going on into the night as if we were different
C#m
We Should be swimming
E
Oh we should be swimming
G#m
Going on into the night as if we were different
