Passenger - Swimming Upstream: chords

                F
Well I've been living in a dream that I can't wake up from
                                      A#
Swimming upstream I can't get to the sea
                      F
Where the fish swim free
      F
And staring at a screen that I don't get much from
                                           A#
Staring so long, can't see wood from the trees
                       F
Or the birds from the bees

     Am
And half of the time well it flies right by
       A#                                F
Like childhood did In the blink of an eye
     C
And half of the time, well it goes so slow
   A#                                  F
I sit outside and watch the grass grow

Well I've been running on a treadmill, legs like lead
Will there ever be a needle for this thread
I've been weaving since I was born?
And the papers read and the government said
I should stay in bed to stop the virus spread
I won't be leaving for so long

Well some nights I feel okay
I close my eyes and I drift away
Some nights I just lay and stare at the ceiling
Like it's gonna go somewhere

Chorus:
         F    Am A# C7
Swimming upstream
         F    Am A# C7
Swimming upstream

Gm                           C7
Oh and I keep swimming but I go nowhere
A                             Dm
It's all the same when I come up for air
A#                     C7
And I just can't get there

Chorus:
         F    Am A# C7
Swimming upstream
         F    Am A# C7
Swimming upstream
         F    Am A#  C7 F
Swimming upstream  Stream
