Intro
D Em G
[Verse 1]
D Em
Dancing around in this parkade alone
G
And it feels weird cause nothing feels more like my home
D
I followed my dreams
Em
And I hit a dead end
G
And it hurts cause I thought
That I was my best friend
D Em
Tip toe tip toe hear the echo
G
I bring my toes to the edge
D Em
Just like they do on the swimming team
G
I can't keep drowning in my head
[Chorus]
D Em
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-huh
G
Can I go back to when I was young
D
If I knew the things that I know now
Em
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
G
But i never was much good on the swimming team
[Bridge]
D Em G
[Verse 2]
D
Oh I'm dancing around
Em
And I can't feel my face
G
I'm confined by these walls
Soon I'll have so much space
D
Cause I followed my dreams
Em
'til I ran out of breath
G
They told me sink or swim
Maybe sinking is best
[Chorus]
D Em
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-hu-u-uh
G
Can I go back to when I was young
D
If I knew the things that I know now
Em
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
G
But I never was much good on the swimming team
D Em
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-huh
G Gmaj7
Can I go back to when I was young
D
If I knew the things that I know now
Em
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
G
But I never was much good on the swimming team
