Intro
G Am C
[Verse 1]
G Am
Dancing around in this parkade alone
C
And it feels weird cause nothing feels more like my home
G
I followed my dreams
Am
And I hit a dead end
C
And it hurts cause I thought
That I was my best friend
G Am
Tip toe tip toe hear the echo
C
I bring my toes to the edge
G Am
Just like they do on the swimming team
C
I can't keep drowning in my head
[Chorus]
G Am
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
Am
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
C
But i never was much good on the swimming team
[Bridge]
G Am C
[Verse 2]
G
Oh I'm dancing around
Am
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
Am
'til I ran out of breath
C
They told me sink or swim
Maybe sinking is best
[Chorus]
G Am
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
Am
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
C
But I never was much good on the swimming team
G Am
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-huh
C Cmaj7
Can I go back to when I was young
G
If I knew the things that I know now
Am
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
C
But I never was much good on the swimming team
