Intro
C Dm F
[Verse 1]
C Dm
Dancing around in this parkade alone
F
And it feels weird cause nothing feels more like my home
C
I followed my dreams
Dm
And I hit a dead end
F
And it hurts cause I thought
That I was my best friend
C Dm
Tip toe tip toe hear the echo
F
I bring my toes to the edge
C Dm
Just like they do on the swimming team
F
I can't keep drowning in my head
[Chorus]
C Dm
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
Dm
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
F
But i never was much good on the swimming team
[Bridge]
C Dm F
[Verse 2]
C
Oh I'm dancing around
Dm
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
Dm
'til I ran out of breath
F
They told me sink or swim
Maybe sinking is best
[Chorus]
C Dm
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
Dm
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
F
But I never was much good on the swimming team
C Dm
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-huh
F Fmaj7
Can I go back to when I was young
C
If I knew the things that I know now
Dm
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
F
But I never was much good on the swimming team
[Outro]
