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
