Intro
B C#m E
[Verse 1]
B C#m
Dancing around in this parkade alone
E
And it feels weird cause nothing feels more like my home
B
I followed my dreams
C#m
And I hit a dead end
E
And it hurts cause I thought
That I was my best friend
B C#m
Tip toe tip toe hear the echo
E
I bring my toes to the edge
B C#m
Just like they do on the swimming team
E
I can't keep drowning in my head
[Chorus]
B C#m
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-huh
E
Can I go back to when I was young
B
If I knew the things that I know now
C#m
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
E
But i never was much good on the swimming team
[Bridge]
B C#m E
[Verse 2]
B
Oh I'm dancing around
C#m
And I can't feel my face
E
I'm confined by these walls
Soon I'll have so much space
B
Cause I followed my dreams
C#m
'til I ran out of breath
E
They told me sink or swim
Maybe sinking is best
[Chorus]
B C#m
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-hu-u-uh
E
Can I go back to when I was young
B
If I knew the things that I know now
C#m
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
E
But I never was much good on the swimming team
B C#m
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-huh
E Emaj7
Can I go back to when I was young
B
If I knew the things that I know now
C#m
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
E
But I never was much good on the swimming team
