[G] [Am]
[F] [D] [Am]
[G] [C] This summer I went swimming, [A] this summer I [Am] might have drowned, but I held my [F] breath and I kicked my [G] feet and I moved [Am] my arms [G] around, moved [C] my arms around.
This summer I swam in the ocean, then swam in [Am] a swimming pool, soaked my [F] wounds, cleaned my [G] eyes, I'm a self [Am]-destructive [G] fool, self [C]-destructive fool.
[G] [G] [Am]
[F] [G] [Am] [A]
[C] This summer I did the [G] backstroke, and you know that [Am] that's not all, I did the [F] breaststroke and the butterfly [G] and the old [Am] Australian crawl, [G] the old [C] Australian crawl.
This summer I swam in a public [Em] place, in a reservoir [Am] to boot, at the latter I [F] was informal, [G] at the former I [Am] wore my suit, [G] I wore a mask [C] to be insidious.

[Am] [A] [C]
This summer I did swan [G] dives in Jack Noss for [Am] you all, and once when you [F] were looking [G] I did a [Am] cannonball, [G] did a [C] cannonball.
This summer I went swimming, [G] this summer I [Am] might have drowned, but I held my breath [F] and I kicked my [G] feet and I moved my [Am] arms around, [G] moved my [C] arms around.
