  G            C    D5            G                       C   A | C  | D5 |

     Nightswimming      deserves     a quiet night.

      G                     C      D5  G                  C   A |

  The photograph on the dashboard,    taken years ago,

      C                          D5

  turned around backwards so the windshield shows.

  G                 C      D5         G                   C   A |

  Every streetlight   reveals the picture in reverse.

  C                       D5

  Still, it's so much clearer.

  G                 C   D5        G

  I forgot my shirt   at   the water's edge.

      C           A          C    |  D5  |

  The moon is low   tonight.

  G            C    D5            G

     Nightswimming      deserves     a quiet night.

      C                     D5                    G5

  I'm not sure all these people understand.

       C            D5       G

  It's not like years   ago,

      C          A            C     D5                 G5

  The fear of getting caught,    of recklessness and water.

         C     D5      G

  They cannot see me naked.

          C          A        C      D5                   G

  These things, they go away,    replaced by everyday.

  

            C         G                      C  A |

  Nightswimming.  Remembering that night.

       C                     D5         C                      C  D5 |

  September's coming soon.          I'm pining for the moon.

      G                      C      A         C

  And what if there were two   side   by side   in orbit

     D5                      G

  around the fairest sun?

         C       D5       G                  C       A             C      | D5 |

  That bright, tight forever drum could not describe   nightswimming.

  

  G                     C       D5   G                     C   A |

  You, I thought I knew   you.       You, I cannot judge.

  C                       D5

  You, I thought you knew    me.

                G           C   D5         G              C

  This one laughing quietly     underneath   my breath.

  A         C     |  D5  |

   Nightswimming.

      G                       C

  The photograph reflects,

  D5          G             C

  every streetlight a reminder.

  A           C        D5                 G   | C D5|

    Nightswimming deserves a quiet night,

  G           C          A        C   |  D5  |

          deserves a quiet night.
