R.E.M. - Nightswimming
G C
G D
G C D G C Am C D
Nightswimming, deserves a quiet night
G C D G
C Am
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago
C D
Turned around backward so the windshield shows
G C D
G C Am
Every street light, reveals a picture in reverse
C D
Still it's so much clearer
G C D G
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge
C Am C D
The moon is low tonight
G C D G C Am
Nightswimming, deserves a quiet night
C D G
I'm not sure all these people understand
C D G C Am C
It's not like years ago - fear of getting caught
D G C D G
Of recklessness in water, they cannot see me naked
C Am C D G
These things they go away, replaced by everyday
G C D G C Am
Nightswimming, remembering that night
C D G C D
September's coming soon, pining for the moon
G C Am C
And what if there were two, side by side in orbit
D G C Am
C
Around the fairest sun, that bright, tight forever drum
D G C D G
C Am C D
Could not describe Nightswimming
G C D G C Am
You, I thought I knew you, you I cannot judge
C D G
C D
You, I thought you knew me, this one laughing quietly
G C Am C D
G
Underneath my breath, Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
C D G C Am C D
G C D G
C Am
The photograph reflects, every street light a reminder
C D G C D
G
Nightswimming, deserves a quiet night
C Am C D G
Deserves a quiet night
