           Dmaj7
I took the medicine but I'm up in the middle
       Amaj7
Of the night again, same beginning, middle
     Dmaj7                                   Amaj7
But still no end, back at the beginning with you
(With you, with you)
          Dmaj7
I'm gonna toss and turn, whisper in my pillow,
Amaj7
"Will I ever learn?" how could waterboardin'
feel so
Dmaj7                                  Amaj7
Good at first? oh, to be swimmin' with you
(With you, with you)

Dmaj7                    Amaj7
On and on and on we go, thoughts of you are
soft as snow
Dmaj7                             Amaj7
Eyes get heavy, heart gets slow, ooh

Chorus:
Dmaj7                           Amaj7
Every night I sleep underwater, follow
you like lamb to a slaughter
Dmaj7                                  Amaj7
Fast asleep and no time to rest, gotta swim,
swim, swim, keep holdin' my breath
Dmaj7                                    Amaj7
Dreams of us, they turn into nightmares, if it's
love then why do I feel scared?
Dmaj7                                  Amaj7
Hear a voice inside of my head sayin' "swim,
swim, swim as fast as you can"

Dmaj7                   Amaj7
On and on and on we go, thoughts of you are
soft as snow
Dmaj7                            Amaj7
Eyes get heavy, heart gets slow, ooh

I never stood a chance
The original ending of a true romance
Guess I'm destined for the role of Juliet
Rather be dead than confused, mm-mm
'Cause it don't make sense
How can we get out of this with no bloodshed?
The longer it goes on, there's only one, the end
Oh, to be swimmin' with you

On and on and on we go (Aah)
Thoughts of you are soft as snow (Aah)
Eyes get heavy, heart gets slow, ooh

Chorus

On and on and on we go
Thoughts of you are soft as snow
Eyes get heavy, heart get slow, ooh
(Swim, swim, swim as fast as you can)
On and on and on we go (Aah)
Thoughts of you are soft as snow (Aah)
Eyes get heavy, heart gets slow, ooh
(Swim, swim, swim as fast as you can)
