[Verse]
Fm A# A#sus4 A# A#sus2 A#
Finding fossils on the hillside
Fm A# A#sus4 A# A#sus2 A#
While the sun strikes him down to his knees
C#/G# G# F# Fm Fm
Where his great grandfather’s sweat Swallowed up left for dust
[Verse]
Fm A# A#sus4 A# A#sus2 A#
Just to escape push the pain to right
Fm A# A#sus4 A# A#sus2 A#
Sketches a wave in the soil
C#/G# G# F#
One drop on his dry, dry lips
G# D# C#/G# C#/G#
Before he goes inflamed and insane
[Chorus]
G# D# A#m C#/G#
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea
G# D# A#m C#/G#
Dreams about swimming, And the moon brings him back
G# D# A#m C#/G#
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea
G# F# Fm Fm
While the moon stems the tide in his heart
[Verse]
Fm A# A#sus4 A# A#sus2 A#
Cast iron and recall
Fm A# A#sus4 A# A#sus2 A#
The ore pouring deep in the vein
C# C# G# F#
As the years of searing heat, ‘till all is just salt
Fm D# C#/G# C#/G#
That is left in the bed where he sleeps
[Chorus]
G# D# A#m C#/G#
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea
G# D# A#m C#/G#
Dreams about swimming, Though he’s miles from the sea
G# D# A#m C#/G#
Dreams about falling, From the sky through the sea
G# D# A#m C#/G#
Dreams about drowning, While the moon looks away
[Bridge]
D# A#m A#m/C# D# A#m
History unheard, silent like the waves
C# G# D# C#
A# graveyard for the giants, that was his eye, dry is his heart
[Chorus]
G# D# A#m C#/G#
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea
G# D# A#m C#/G#
Dreams about swimming, Though he’s miles from the sea
G# D# A#m C#/G#
Dreams about falling, From the sky through the sea
G# F# Fm D# C#
While the moon lays out a bed, Of bones to call home
