Dm A/C# Bm A Sometimes I find myself stuck in the middle with nowhere to turn So I pull it in and tell myself it all works out But then again no one helps when things go wrong So I saved myself saved myself I learned how to swim Sometimes you find yourself stuck in the crowd with nowhere to turn So you go against what everybody feels but feelings burn Then you'll see that no one person rules the world You tell yourself that everybody learns how to swim D With it don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide Just swim with it but first... Chorus: D F#m You put your feet on the ground Bm A D F#m I can't pick you up every time you're falling down Bm A No I'm not your mother or your father You put your feet on the ground I can't pick you up every time you're falling down No I can't go any further but I know It's hard to do the right thing in the right place When you want to do something else in their face Do what I do don't turn your back and walk away no Do what I do and learn how to swim With it don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide Just swim with it but first... Chorus: You put your feet on the ground I can't pick you up every time you're falling down No I'm not your mother or your father You put your feet on the ground I can't pick you up every time you're falling down No I can't go any further NO NO Just learn how to swim With it don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide Just swim with it but first... Chorus: You put your feet on the ground I can't pick you up every time you're falling down No I'm not your mother or your father You put your feet on the ground I can't pick you up every time you're falling down No I can't go any further Put your feet on the ground Won't you put your feet on the ground, no I can't pick you up Everytime you're falling down Put your feet on the ground And learn how to swim With it don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide Just swim...
