C A# Am Am Am
[Verse]
Am D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Finding fossils on the hillside
Am D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
While the sun strikes him down to his knees
F/C C A# Am Am
Where his great grandfather’s sweat Swallowed up left for dust
[Verse]
Am D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Just to escape push the pain to right
Am D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Sketches a wave in the soil
F/C C A#
One drop on his dry, dry lips
C G F/C F/C
Before he goes inflamed and insane
[Chorus]
C G Dm F/C
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea
C G Dm F/C
Dreams about swimming, And the moon brings him back
C G Dm F/C
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea
C A# Am Am
While the moon stems the tide in his heart
[Verse]
Am D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Cast iron and recall
Am D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
The ore pouring deep in the vein
F F C A#
As the years of searing heat, ‘till all is just salt
Am G F/C F/C
That is left in the bed where he sleeps
[Chorus]
C G Dm F/C
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea
C G Dm F/C
Dreams about swimming, Though he’s miles from the sea
C G Dm F/C
Dreams about falling, From the sky through the sea
C G Dm F/C
Dreams about drowning, While the moon looks away
[Bridge]
G Dm Dm/F G Dm
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 Dm F/C
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea
C G Dm F/C
Dreams about swimming, Though he’s miles from the sea
C G Dm F/C
Dreams about falling, From the sky through the sea

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