[Verse]
A#m D# D#sus4 D# D#sus2 D#
Finding fossils on the hillside
A#m D# D#sus4 D# D#sus2 D#
While the sun strikes him down to his knees

Where his great grandfather’s sweat Swallowed up left for dust
[Verse]
A#m D# D#sus4 D# D#sus2 D#
Just to escape push the pain to right
A#m D# D#sus4 D# D#sus2 D#
Sketches a wave in the soil
F#/C# C# B
One drop on his dry, dry lips
C# G# F#/C# F#/C#
Before he goes inflamed and insane
[Chorus]
C# G# D#m F#/C#
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea
C# G# D#m F#/C#
Dreams about swimming, And the moon brings him back

While the moon stems the tide in his heart
[Verse]
A#m D# D#sus4 D# D#sus2 D#
Cast iron and recall
A#m D# D#sus4 D# D#sus2 D#
The ore pouring deep in the vein
F# F# C# B
As the years of searing heat, ‘till all is just salt
A#m G# F#/C# F#/C#
That is left in the bed where he sleeps
[Chorus]

Dreams about drowning, While the moon looks away
[Bridge]
G# D#m D#m/F# G# D#m
History unheard, silent like the waves
F# C# G# F#
D# graveyard for the giants, that was his eye, dry is his heart
[Chorus]
C# G# D#m F#/C#
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea

Dreams about swimming, Though he’s miles from the sea
C# G# D#m F#/C#
Dreams about falling, From the sky through the sea
C# B A#m G# F#
While the moon lays out a bed, Of bones to call home
