Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 You gotta  swim
 Swim for your life
 Swim for the music
 That saves you
 When you're not so sure you'll survive
 You gotta swim
 And swim when it hurts
 The whole world is watching
 You haven't come this far
 To fall off the earth
 The currents  will pull you
 Away from your love
 Just keep your head above
I  found a tidal wave
Begging  to tear down the dawn
Memories  like bullets
They  fired at me from a gun
 Cracking  me open yeah
I  swim for brighter days
Despite  the absence of sun
 Choking  on salt water
I'm  not  giving in
 I Swim
 You gotta swim
 For nights that won’t end
 Swim for your families
 Your lovers your sisters
 And brothers and friends
 Yeah, you gotta swim
 For wars without cause
 Swim for the lost politicians
 Who don't see their greed is a flaw
 The currents  will pull us
 Away from our love
 Just keep your head above
I  found a tidal wave
Begging  to tear down the dawn
Memories  like bullets
 They fired  at me from a gun
 Cracking  me open yeah
I  swim for brighter days
Despite  the absence of sun
 Choking on salt  water
I'm  not  giving in
But  I'm  not giving in
 I Swim
 Final Verse:
 You gotta swim
 Swim in the dark
 There's an ocean to drift  in
 Feel the tide shifting away from the spark
 Yeah you gotta swim
 Don't let yourself sink
 Just follow the horizon
 I promise you it's not as far as you think
The  currents will drag us away from our love
 Just keep your head above
 Just keep your head above
Swim
 Just keep your head above
Swim
Swim
 Just keep your head above
Swim
 Jack's Mannequin Rocks!
