Intro
Am7
[Verse 1]
Am7
Elegantly
G
Kelly from town's got a crush on you
Am7
Over coffee
G
I pick your brain all afternoon
F
Pick up your cold feet
G
She will never love you like I do
[Chorus]
Am7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
G C
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
F
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
Am7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
G C
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
F
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
Am7
Wading, wading, wading
Am7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
Am7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
Am7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
[Verse 2]
Am7
Elegantly
G
I stand poised waiting for the end
Am7
It's staring straight back at me
G
Tiny little terrors won't get out of my head
F
Legs keeping me afloat
G
Even in the deepest pits of a shallow love
I know that you're leaving
F
Keep me in undertow
Oh how you deceive me
G
This feeling in my bones
I know that you're leaving
[Chorus]
Am7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
G C
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
F
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
Am7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
G C
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
F
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
[Instrumental]
Am7 G C F x2
[Bridge]
Am7
All of the strangers
And all of the foes
G
Come and stand by the water
Where so many froze
C
And I can't feel my body, I feel all their eyes
F
But I won't turn to look
Keep my nose to the sky
Am7
And it's awfully silent
G
The quiet will ring in my ears underneath
As I'm starting to sink
C
And as I see the bottom it's all I can do
F
To keep waiting and waiting, waiting for you
Am7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
G
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
C
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
F
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Am7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
G
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
C
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
F
But you're weighing me, weighing me, weighing me further
