Intro: [play into/verse/chorus riff 2x]

Verse 1: [play into/verse/chorus riff 2x]
Lets-a look at the thresh-hold of the North Sea and my mind
And I'm not to the boredom that drove me here to face the tide

Post-verse: [play Post-Verse riff 4x]
And I swim, I swim, oh swim

Verse 2:
Did the toe in the ocean, oh how it hardens and it numbs
The rest of me is a burgeoned man built to collapse into crumbs
And if I hadn't come now to the coast to disappear
I may have died in a landslide of rocks and hopes and fears

Chorus 1 chords: [and use intro/verse/chorus riff throughout]
So [D]swim, until you [G]can't see land, s[D]wim, until you [G]can't see land
[D]Swim, until you [G]can't see land, are [Em]you a man or you a [G]bag of sand? [repeat]

Interlude: [play into/verse/chorus riff 4x]

Verse 3 chords:
[D]Up to our kn[G]ees now, do you [D]wait, do you [G]dive?
[D]The sea has seen m[G]y life before though its my [D]first and perhaps last [G]time
[D]Lets call me a [G]Baptist, call this a [D]drowning of the [G]past
[D]She's there on the [G]shoreline throwing [D]stones at my [G]back

Chorus 2: [use chorus 1 chords]
So swim, until you can't see land
Swim, until you can't see land
Swim, until you can't see land
Are you a man or you a bag of sand? [repeat]

Interlude: [play into/verse/chorus riff 4x]

Bridge chords:
[D]And the water is taller than me and the land is marker l[G]ining
[D]All I am is a body adrift in the water salt and [G]sky

Chorus 3: [use chorus 1 chords]
So swim, until you can't see land
Swim, until you can't see land
Swim, until you can't see land
Are you a man or you a bag of sand? [repeat 3x to outro]

End on: D
