Intro
C#m7
[Verse 1]
C#m7
Elegantly
B
Kelly from town's got a crush on you
C#m7
Over coffee
B
I pick your brain all afternoon
A
Pick up your cold feet
B
She will never love you like I do
[Chorus]
C#m7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
B E
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
A
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
C#m7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
B E
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
A
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
C#m7
Wading, wading, wading
C#m7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
C#m7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
C#m7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
[Verse 2]
C#m7
Elegantly
B
I stand poised waiting for the end
C#m7
It's staring straight back at me
B
Tiny little terrors won't get out of my head
A
Legs keeping me afloat
B
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
B
This feeling in my bones
I know that you're leaving
[Chorus]
C#m7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
B E
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
A
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
C#m7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
B E
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]
C#m7 B E A x2
[Bridge]
C#m7
All of the strangers
And all of the foes
B
Come and stand by the water
Where so many froze
E
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
C#m7
And it's awfully silent
B
The quiet will ring in my ears underneath
As I'm starting to sink
E
And as I see the bottom it's all I can do
A
To keep waiting and waiting, waiting for you
C#m7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
B
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
E
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
A
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
C#m7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
B
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
E
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
A
But you're weighing me, weighing me, weighing me further
