[A] This summer I went swimming, [E] this summer I might [F#m] have drowned, but I held my breath [D] and
I kicked my feet [E] and I moved my [F#m] arms around, [E] moved my [A] arms around.
This summer I swam in the ocean and I swam in a swimming [F#m]
pool, solved my [D] wounds, cleaned
my [E] eyes, I'm a self [F#m]-destructive fool, [E] I'm a self [A]-destructive fool.
[F#m] [D]
[A] [F#m] [A]
This summer I did the backstroke and you know that that's [F#m] not all, I did the breaststroke
[D] and the butterfly [E] and the old [F#m] Australian crawl, [E] the old [A] Australian crawl.
This summer I swam in a public place in a [F#m] reservoir to boot, at the latter I [D] was informal,
[E] at the former I [F#m] wore my suit, [E] I wore my [A] swimming suit, yeah.
[F#m]
[D] [E] [F#m]
[A] This summer I did swan dives and [F#m] jackknifed for you all, but once when [D] you weren't looking
[E] I did a [F#m] cannonball, [E] did a [A]
cannonball.
This summer I went swimming, this summer I [F#m] might have drowned, but I held my [D] breath and
I kicked my [E] feet and I moved my [F#m] arms around, moved [A] my arms around.
