Swimming Lesson

[D]   [G]  [A]  x2

[D]If the world's a rotten place
[G]You better just forget [A]it
[D]In the crowd just another face
[G]Gonna make 'em regret [A]it

[C]Take a heart and [G]squash it hard
[D]Like a little gra[G]pe
[C]Push it down 'twe[G]en boot and ground
[D]'Til it loses sha[G]pe

([G]  [C]  [Dm]) [F]                  [C]
And if you feel like you can't swim
[D]When you're thrown in the [G]lake
([G]   [C]     [Dm]) [F]
Just watch the bugs
Passin' by [C]you as you
[G]Slip under their [F]wake
[D]         [G]    [A]
[Again]

If you let your feelings shine
You better cover 'em up, kid
Ain't no sense in wastin' time
Dream behind your eyelids

Take a heart and squash it hard
Like a little bug
Swig it down and spit it out
And kick it under the rug

And if you feel like you can't swim
When you're thrown in the lake
Just watch the bugs
Passin' by you as you
Slip under their wake
[Again]

Take a heart and squash it hard
Like a little ant
Scrape it off the sole of your shoe
On the welcome mat

And if you feel like you can't swim
When you're thrown in the lake
Just watch the bugs
Passin' by you as you
Slip under their wake
[Again]

Ooh
Ooh
