[F] [G] [Am]
[G] [C]
This summer I went swimming
[G] 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 my [C] arms around
This summer I slammed in the ocean
And slammed in [Am] a swimming pool
Soft my [F] wounds, cleared my [G] eyes
I'm a self [Am]-destructive [G] fool
Self [C]-destructive fool
[G] This [C] [G] [Am]
[F] [G]
[Am] [G] [C]
summer I did the [G] backstroke
And you know that [Am] that's not all
I did the [F] breaststroke and the [G] butterfly
And the old [Am] Australian crawl
[G] The old [C] Australian crawl
This summer I swam in a public place
And [Em] a [Am] reservoir to boot
At the latter I [F] was informal
[G] At the former I [Am] wore my suit
[G] I wore a mask [C] when being sealed again
[G] [Am]
[F] [G]
[Am] [G] [C]
This summer I did swan [G] dives
And jackknives [Am] for 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 [F] breath and I kicked my [G] feet
And I moved my [Am] arms around
[G] Moved my [C] arms around
