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