[D] [C] [B] [G] [A] [Em]
[G] [Em]
[G] This summer I went swimming, this summer [Em] I might have drowned
But I held [G] my breath and I kicked my feet and I [Em] moved my arms around
[G] Moved my arms around
This summer I swam in the ocean and I swam in a [Em] swimming pool
Salt my [G] wounds, chlorine my eyes, I'm a self [Em]-destructive
[G] Self-destructive fool
[Em]
[C] [D] [Em]
[D] [G] This summer I did the backstroke and you [D] know that that's [Em] not all
I did the breaststroke and the butterfly [G] and the old [Em] Australian [G] crawl
The old Australian crawl
This summer I swam in a public place in a reservoir [Em] to [G] pool
At the latter [Em] I was informal, [G] at the former I [Em] wore my suit
[G] I [D] wore my [G] swimming suit, yeah
[D] [Em]
[C] [G] [D] [Em]
[G] This summer I did swan dives and [D] [Em] jackknives for you all
And once with you [C] were looking [G] I did a [Em] cannonball
[G] I did a cannonball
This summer I went swimming, this summer I might [Em] have drowned
But I held my breath and I [C] kicked my [D] feet and I moved my arms [Em] around
