Intro
E F#m A
[Verse 1]
E F#m
Dancing around in this parkade alone
A
And it feels weird cause nothing feels more like my home
E
I followed my dreams
F#m
And I hit a dead end
A
And it hurts cause I thought
That I was my best friend
E F#m
Tip toe tip toe hear the echo
A
I bring my toes to the edge
E F#m
Just like they do on the swimming team
A
I can't keep drowning in my head
[Chorus]
E F#m
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-huh
A
Can I go back to when I was young
E
If I knew the things that I know now
F#m
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
A
But i never was much good on the swimming team
[Bridge]
E F#m A
[Verse 2]
E
Oh I'm dancing around
F#m
And I can't feel my face
A
I'm confined by these walls
Soon I'll have so much space
E
Cause I followed my dreams
F#m
'til I ran out of breath
A
They told me sink or swim
Maybe sinking is best
[Chorus]
E F#m
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-hu-u-uh
A
Can I go back to when I was young
E
If I knew the things that I know now
F#m
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
A
But I never was much good on the swimming team
E F#m
Oh backstroke backstroke uh-huh
A Amaj7
Can I go back to when I was young
E
If I knew the things that I know now
F#m
I'd find a way to change this all somehow
A
But I never was much good on the swimming team
