*In my opinion this is their best tune. I learned by ear the live version from the spotify sessions. 
I noticed that this is usually played an octave above than written here, however if playing solo and or 
acoustically it sounds better to play at this octave. Have fun.
Tuning: Standard


Key: C Major

Intro: C Am (repeat)

C Am (repeat)
You were such....
a strong swimmer
and you


F Dm (repeat)
taught me how 
to never fear those 


C Am (repeat)
tall waves 
and you stayed 
in those deep waters
always


F Dm (repeat)
inviting 
to a bed on the 


C Am (repeat)
bottom
and that 


F (repeat)
current took you away and it 

Dm (repeat)
made you pay and pay

C Am (repeat)
when I saw you I didn't know your name


it was such
a long winter 
when the ice had thawed
there wasn't much that survived it
it takes more
than a strong swimmer
to stay above water
with a body divided

and that current took you away
and it made you pay and pay 
when I saw you
I didn't know your name
when I see you
they'll give us different names
