[Verse]
Bm E Esus4 E Esus2 E
Finding fossils on the hillside
Bm E Esus4 E Esus2 E
While the sun strikes him down to his knees
G/D D C Bm Bm
Where his great grandfather’s sweat Swallowed up left for dust
[Verse]
Bm E Esus4 E Esus2 E
Just to escape push the pain to right
Bm E Esus4 E Esus2 E
Sketches a wave in the soil
G/D D C
One drop on his dry, dry lips
D A G/D G/D
Before he goes inflamed and insane
[Chorus]
D A Em G/D
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea

Dreams about swimming, And the moon brings him back
D A Em G/D
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea

While the moon stems the tide in his heart
[Verse]
Bm E Esus4 E Esus2 E
Cast iron and recall
Bm E Esus4 E Esus2 E
The ore pouring deep in the vein
G G D C
As the years of searing heat, ‘till all is just salt

That is left in the bed where he sleeps
[Chorus]

Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea

Dreams about drowning, While the moon looks away

History unheard, silent like the waves

E graveyard for the giants, that was his eye, dry is his heart

While the moon lays out a bed, Of bones to call home
