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