Intro
Dm7
[Verse 1]
Dm7
Elegantly
C
Kelly from town's got a crush on you
Dm7
Over coffee
C
I pick your brain all afternoon
A#
Pick up your cold feet
C
She will never love you like I do
[Chorus]
Dm7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
C F
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
A#
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
Dm7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
C F
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
A#
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
Dm7
Wading, wading, wading
Dm7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
Dm7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
Dm7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
[Verse 2]
Dm7
Elegantly
C
I stand poised waiting for the end
Dm7
It's staring straight back at me
C
Tiny little terrors won't get out of my head
A#
Legs keeping me afloat
C
Even in the deepest pits of a shallow love
I know that you're leaving
A#
Keep me in undertow
Oh how you deceive me
C
This feeling in my bones
I know that you're leaving
[Chorus]
Dm7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
C F
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
A#
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
Dm7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
C F
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
A#
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
[Instrumental]
Dm7 C F A# x2
[Bridge]
Dm7
All of the strangers
And all of the foes
C
Come and stand by the water
Where so many froze
F
And I can't feel my body, I feel all their eyes
A#
But I won't turn to look
Keep my nose to the sky
Dm7
And it's awfully silent
C
The quiet will ring in my ears underneath
As I'm starting to sink
F
And as I see the bottom it's all I can do
A#
To keep waiting and waiting, waiting for you
Dm7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
C
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
F
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
A#
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Dm7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
C
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
F
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
A#
But you're weighing me, weighing me, weighing me further
