Intro
F# G#m B
[Verse 1]
F# G#m
Dancing around in this parkade alone
B
And it feels weird cause nothing feels more like my home
F#
I followed my dreams
G#m
And I hit a dead end
B
And it hurts cause I thought
That I was my best friend
F# G#m
Tip toe tip toe hear the echo
B
I bring my toes to the edge
F# G#m
Just like they do on the swimming team
B
I can't keep drowning in my head
[Chorus]
F# G#m
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-huh
B
Can I go back to when I was young
F#
If I knew the things that I know now
G#m
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
B
But i never was much good on the swimming team
[Bridge]
F# G#m B
[Verse 2]
F#
Oh I'm dancing around
G#m
And I can't feel my face
B
I'm confined by these walls
Soon I'll have so much space
F#
Cause I followed my dreams
G#m
'til I ran out of breath
B
They told me sink or swim
Maybe sinking is best
[Chorus]
F# G#m
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-hu-u-uh
B
Can I go back to when I was young
F#
If I knew the things that I know now
G#m
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
B
But I never was much good on the swimming team
F# G#m
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-huh
B Bmaj7
Can I go back to when I was young
F#
If I knew the things that I know now
G#m
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
B
But I never was much good on the swimming team
