I like swimming in the sea

Chorus/bridge
G+G
All around is anger,  automatic guns
G+G
Death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones

Tried talking to Jesus but he just put me on hold

Said he'd been swamped by calls this week
       D MajorD
And he could not shake his coooooooooooold

V4
D MajorD
Still this emptiness persists
D MajorD
Perhaps this is as good as it gets
D MajorD
When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
D MajorD
Now leave the party early at least with no regrets
D MajorD
I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets
D MajorD
Yeah this is as good as it gets

V5
D MajorD
My my my its a beautiful world
D MajorD
I like sleeping with Marie

She is one sexy girl - full of mystery
D MajorD
She says she doesn't love me but likes my company
D MajorD
For now that's good enough for me

V6
D MajorD
My my my its a beautiful world
D MajorD
I like swimming in the sea
D MajorD
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
D MajorD
Where a man can still be free or a woman if you are one
D MajorD
I like swimming in the sea
