Intro: G - A# C / G - - - 
 
          G    _ 
I hate to swim 
         A#             C                 G   - 
And the water's so damn cold this time of year 
     A#            C                    G    - 
And when I drown I have nothing left to fear 
        A#              C              G   - 
So just get me up, just get me out of here 
        A#                 A      G   - - - 
But you know its not that easy anyways 
 
                  G    - 
I climbed lots of trees 
     A#               C               G  - 
When I was young and lived to tell of it 
               A#                 C                    G  - 
Cause when I'm climbing high, the ground is so easy to hit 
      A#                 C                    G  - 
But I could not let that girl get higher than me 
         A# 
Well you see its not that easy 
          A 
Don't you know its not that easy and 
G#                          G   - - - 
I know its not that easy anyways 
 
         C        A      A#  - 
Well its hard for you to see 
     C                     A                  A# - 
Just what this means, just what this means to me 
      C        A       A# 
And I know its hard to tell 
     C                A                    A#   - 
That through it all I hope/have been doing well 
             G    A# C G - - - 
It's time to tell
