Intro
C# D#m F#
[Verse 1]
C# D#m
Dancing around in this parkade alone
F#
And it feels weird cause nothing feels more like my home
C#
I followed my dreams
D#m
And I hit a dead end
F#
And it hurts cause I thought
That I was my best friend
C# D#m
Tip toe tip toe hear the echo
F#
I bring my toes to the edge
C# D#m
Just like they do on the swimming team
F#
I can't keep drowning in my head
[Chorus]
C# D#m
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-huh
F#
Can I go back to when I was young
C#
If I knew the things that I know now
D#m
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
F#
But i never was much good on the swimming team
[Bridge]
C# D#m F#
[Verse 2]
C#
Oh I'm dancing around
D#m
And I can't feel my face
F#
I'm confined by these walls
Soon I'll have so much space
C#
Cause I followed my dreams
D#m
'til I ran out of breath
F#
They told me sink or swim
Maybe sinking is best
[Chorus]
C# D#m
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-hu-u-uh
F#
Can I go back to when I was young
C#
If I knew the things that I know now
D#m
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
F#
But I never was much good on the swimming team
C# D#m
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-huh
F# F#maj7
Can I go back to when I was young
C#
If I knew the things that I know now
D#m
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
F#
But I never was much good on the swimming team
