Intro: [play into/verse/chorus riff 2x]
Verse 1: [play into/verse/chorus riff 2x]
Lets-a look at the thresh-hold of the North Sea and my mind
And I'm not to the boredom that drove me here to face the tide
Post-verse: [play Post-Verse riff 4x]
And I swim, I swim, oh swim
Verse 2:
Did the toe in the ocean, oh how it hardens and it numbs
The rest of me is a burgeoned man built to collapse into crumbs
And if I hadn't come now to the coast to disappear
I may have died in a landslide of rocks and hopes and fears

Verse 3 chords:

Up to our knees now, do you wait, do you dive?

The sea has seen my life before though its my first and perhaps last time

Lets call me a Baptist, call this a drowning of the past
D G D G
She's there on the shoreline throwing stones at my back

All I am is a body adrift in the water salt and sky
Chorus 3: [use chorus 1 chords]
So swim, until you can't see land
Swim, until you can't see land

Are you a man or you a bag of sand? [repeat 3x to outro]
