[Intro]
G F Em Em Em

[Verse]
Em                        A        Asus4 A Asus2 A
   Finding fossils on the hillside
          Em                          A        Asus4 A Asus2 A
While the sun strikes him down to his knees
          C/G                 G               F           Em   Em
Where his great grandfather’s sweat Swallowed up left for dust

[Verse]
Em                         A        Asus4 A Asus2 A
   Just to escape push the pain to right
Em                         A        Asus4 A Asus2 A
   Sketches a wave in the soil
    C/G         G        F
One drop on his dry, dry lips
          G      D            C/G   C/G
Before he goes inflamed and insane

[Chorus]
             G        D         Am           C/G
Dreams about swimming,   Miles away from the sea
             G        D          Am              C/G
Dreams about swimming,   And the moon brings him back
             G        D         Am           C/G
Dreams about swimming,   Miles away from the sea
          G              F           Em    Em
While the moon stems the tide in his heart

[Verse]
Em                 A        Asus4 A Asus2 A
   Cast iron and recall
    Em                      A        Asus4 A Asus2 A
The ore pouring deep in the vein
       C        C       G                       F
As the years of searing heat, ‘till all is just salt
        Em          D            C/G   C/G
That is left in the bed where he sleeps

[Chorus]
             G        D         Am           C/G
Dreams about swimming,   Miles away from the sea
             G        D              Am             C/G
Dreams about swimming,   Though he’s miles from the sea
        G        D               Am              C/G
Dreams about falling,   From the sky through the sea
             G        D           Am          C/G
Dreams about drowning,  While the moon looks away

[Bridge]
D           Am    Am/C  D               Am
  History unheard,      silent like the waves
  C                 G                    D               C
A graveyard for the giants, that was his eye, dry is his heart

[Chorus]
             G        D         Am           C/G
Dreams about swimming,   Miles away from the sea
             G        D              Am             C/G
Dreams about swimming,   Though he’s miles from the sea
        G        D               Am              C/G
Dreams about falling,   From the sky through the sea
          G         F     Em      D             C
While the moon lays out a bed, Of bones to call home
