Intro
Gm7
[Verse 1]
Gm7
Elegantly
F
Kelly from town's got a crush on you
Gm7
Over coffee
F
I pick your brain all afternoon
Eb
Pick up your cold feet
F
She will never love you like I do
[Chorus]
Gm7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
F A#
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
Eb
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
Gm7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
F A#
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
Eb
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
Gm7
Wading, wading, wading
Gm7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
Gm7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
Gm7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
[Verse 2]
Gm7
Elegantly
F
I stand poised waiting for the end
Gm7
It's staring straight back at me
F
Tiny little terrors won't get out of my head
Eb
Legs keeping me afloat
F
Even in the deepest pits of a shallow love
I know that you're leaving
Eb
Keep me in undertow
Oh how you deceive me
F
This feeling in my bones
I know that you're leaving
[Chorus]
Gm7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
F A#
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
Eb
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
Gm7
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
F A#
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
Eb
(And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon)
[Instrumental]
Gm7 F A# Eb x2
[Bridge]
Gm7
All of the strangers
And all of the foes
F
Come and stand by the water
Where so many froze
A#
And I can't feel my body, I feel all their eyes
Eb
But I won't turn to look
Keep my nose to the sky
Gm7
And it's awfully silent
F
The quiet will ring in my ears underneath
As I'm starting to sink
A#
And as I see the bottom it's all I can do
Eb
To keep waiting and waiting, waiting for you
Gm7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
F
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
A#
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Eb
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Gm7
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
F
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
A#
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Eb
But you're weighing me, weighing me, weighing me further
