D#
I bet you feel it now, baby
Cm                                               D#
Especially since we've only known each other one day
But, I've got to work shit out, baby
Cm
I'm exercising demons, got 'em running
            D#
'round the block now

Location drop, now
              Cm
Pedal to the floor like you're running from
the cops now
           D#
Oh, what a cop out
             Cm
You picked a dance with the devil and you lucked out

Chorus:
D#
The water's getting colder
                      Cm
Let me in your ocean, swim
                                               D#
Out in California, I've been forward stroking, swim
So hard to ignore ya', 'specially when I'm smoking,
Cm
swim
World is on my shoulders
                     D#
Keep your body open, swim
                                          Cm
I'm swimming, I'm swimming, I'm swimming, yeah
                                          D#
I'm swimming, I'm swimming, I'm swimming, yeah
                                               Cm
Out in California, I've been forward stroking, swim
                                            D#
So hard to ignore ya', keep your body open, swim

Pop a couple pills in the daytime, ah
Heard you got a friend, what her head like? Ah
Probably should've fucked on the first night, ah
Now I gotta wait for the green light, ah
I don't wanna wait for no green light, ah
Narcolepsy got me feeling stage fright, ah
Luckily I fly at insane heights
Luckily, luckily, luckily, ya

Location drop, now
Pedal to the floor like you running from
the cops now
Oh, what a cop out
You picked a dance with the devil and
you lucked out (Yeah)

Chorus

      Cm
Swim, push the water to the edge and watch it drip
D#
Check your footing, don't get caught up in the rip
Cm
I know I said I'd call, I never did, no
D#
Swim, swim now
Cm
I can take you even though I've never been there
D#
The tide has currently been thrashing around me
again and again
Cm
I've been drowning for a minute, your body
keeps pulling me in

Chorus
