Verse 1
by Shovels and Rope
'Swimmin' Time'
When the [C]devil is all around and got you [G]crawling on the ground
On your hands and your knees with an [D]apple in your mouth
You will [C]know how far you'll [G]go to [D]make your peace with [G]god
I got [G]wasted and I sat around the [C]fire all [G]day
See if I could [C]find [G]someone to make [D]love to
I barely even [G]noticed how the fibers did [C]tear [G]away
From the [C]fabric [G]of my [D]being
And [C]nobody [G]knows it like [D]you do babe, [C]nobody [G]knows it like [D]you do
[C]Nobody [G]knows it like [D]you do [Em]babe, the [C]lengths we [D]will go [G]to
I’m going down a [G]long road, maybe it's the [C]wrong [G]road
But either way I gotta [C]find my [G]way back [D]home again
It's too late to [G]turn back now, gotta get the [C]lead on [G]out
Gotta [C]find some [G]way to make it [D]right on
And [C]nobody [G]knows it like [D]you do babe, [C]nobody [G]knows it like [D]you do
[C]Nobody [G]knows it like [D]you do [Em]babe, the [C]lengths we [D]will go [G]to
[C]
There must be some other [G]way, I just don't [C]know
Gotta get myself back [G]up on that high [C]road
But nobody [G]knows that like you [D]do
So I'm gonna be a [G]good man, gonna do the [C]best I [G]can
Though I'm a [C]shell of the [G]man that I [D]once was
And if I find [G]forgiveness in the [C]eyes of [G]god
It will [C]be hard [G]won, I [D]assure you
When the [C]devil is all around and got you [G]crawling on the ground
On your hands and your knees with and [D]apple in your mouth
You will [C]know how far you'll [G]go to [D]make your peace with [G]god
Yeah, you will [C]know how far you'll [G]go to [D]make your peace with [G]god
[C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G]
