[Intro]
[G - C9 - G - D]
[Verse]
G C9 D
Night - swimming
G C9 A9*
deserves a quiet night
C9 D
The
G C9 D
photograph on the dashboard,
G C9 A9
taken years ago,
C9 D
turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
[Verse]
G C9 D
Every streetlight reveals the
G C9 A9*
picture in re-verse
C9 D
Still it's so much clearer
G C9 D
I forgot my shirt at the
G C9 A9*
water's edge. The moon is low to-
C9 D
-night.
[Bridge]
[G - C9 - G - D]
[Verse]
G C9 D
Night - swimming
G C9 A9*
deserves a quiet night I’m
C9 D
not sure all these people under-
G C9 D
-stand. It’s not like years
G C9 A9*
ago. The fear of getting
C9 D
caught, of recklessness and
G C9 D
water. They cannot see me
G C9 A9*
naked. These things they go
C9 D
away, replaced by every(day)
[Verse]
G C9 D
-day. Night - swimming...
G C9 A9*
remembering that night. Sep-
C9 D
-tember's coming soon. I'm
G C9 D
pining for the moon. And
G C9 A9*
what if there were two side by
C9 D
side in orbit around the fairest
G C9 D
sun? That bright, tight for-
G C9 A9*
-ever drum cannot describe night-
C9 D
swimming.
[Verse]
G C9 D
You, I thought I knew you.
G C9 A9*
You, I can-not judge
C9 D
You, I thought you knew me. This one’s
G C9 D
laughing quiet-ly under-
G C9 A9*
-neath my breath. Night-
C9 D
swimming.

[Verse]
G C9 D
photograph re-flects every
G C9 A9*
streetlight a reminder. Night-
C9 D
-swimming de-serves a quiet
G C9 D
night.
G C9 A9*
de-serves a quiet
C9 D
night.
