C                   G
Where were you when I was lonesome?
F                    Am
Locked away in this freezing cold
C               G
Someone flying, only stolen,
F                   Am
I can't tell, this night's so old,

Chorus:
C                 G
I don't want to swim the ocean
F                Am
I don't want to fight the tide
C                 G
I don't want to swim forever
F                  Am
When it's cold I'd like to die

What was that my sweet sweet nothing?
I can't hear you through the fog
If I holler let me go
If I falter let me know

Chorus - x2

I don't want to swim the ocean
I don't want to fight the tide
