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