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