Capo 5

[Intro]
C Em F G7 X2

[Verse 1]
                       C
Well I've been living in a dream that I can't wake up from
                                                            F
Swimming upstream I can't get to the sea
                                 C
Where the fish swim free

        C
And staring at a screen that I don't get much from
                                                                F
Staring so long, can't see wood from the trees
         C
Or the birds from the bees

        G
And half of the time well it flies right by
        F                                                       C
Like childhood did In the blink of an eye

        G
And half of the time, well it goes so slow
   F                                                          C
I sit outside and watch the grass grow

C Em F G7 X2

[Verse 2]
                         C
Well I've been running on a treadmill, legs like lead

Will there ever be a needle for this thread
                F                                   C
I've been weaving since I was born?

                C
And the papers read and the government said

I should stay in bed to stop the virus spread
                 F                         C
I won't be leaving for so long

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

[Chorus]
C Em F G7

                     C  Em  F  G7
Swimming upstream
                     C  Em  F  G7
Swimming upstream

[Middle 8]
Dm                                            G7
Oh and I keep swimming but I go nowhere
E                                              Am
It's all the same when I come up for air
F                               G7
And I just can't get there

N.C.

[Ulangi Chorus]
