[Intro]

G C9
G D

[Verse 1]

G         C9          D
Night swimming
G                      C9         A9*
deserves a quiet night.
C9 D
        The..
G                          C9            D
photograph on the dashboard,
G                  C9 A9*
taken years ago,
C9                                          D
turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
G                       C9    D
Every streetlight reveals the
G                   C9     A9*
picture in re-verse.
C9               D
Still it's so much clearer.
G               C9      D
I forgot my shirt at the
G                          C9      A9*
water's edge. The moon is low to-
C9      D
-night.

[Verse 2]

G          C9        D
Night swimming
G                      C9      A9*
deserves a quiet night. I’m
C9                  D
not sure all these people under-
G                C9          D
-stand. It’s not like years
G             C9       A9*
ago. The fear of getting
C9             D
caught, of recklessness and
G                 C9         D
water. They cannot see me
G                    C9       A9*
naked. These things they go
C9           D
away, replaced by every(day).

[Verse 3]

G                 C9          D
-day. Night swimming
G                        C9      A9*
remembering that night. Sep-
C9                      D
-tember's coming soon. I'm
G                     C9      D
pining for the moon. And
G                           C9   A9*
what if there were two side by
C9                 D
side in orbit around the fairest
G                C9         D
sun? That bright, tight for-
G                            C9          A9*
-ever drum cannot describe night-
C9            D 
swimming.
