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