Swimming in Miami Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I'm [G]alone above the [D]atmosphere
[C]And no one looking up can fin[G]d me here
[D]'Cause I can close my eye[Em]s,
and [C]disappear
[G]When I climb the stairs,
to [D]watch [C]the sun
Above the station walls,
[G]the colors [D]run
To fill the swimming [Em]pool,
when I am [C]done

[Verse 2]
[C]
[D]I am the captain of an oil[Em] tanker
[G]that travels thr[C]ough your vei[D]ns[G]

[Verse 3]
When [G]the satellites hang [D]all around
[C]And I can finally hear the[G] lovely sound
[D]When all the engines in the
[Em]back room die [C]down[G]
All the airships move [D]across the sky
[C]And my equipment just
keeps [G]standing [D]by
The planets [Em]glow, and intensify
[C]

[Verse 4]
[D]I am the pilot of a car[Em]go air[G]plane
that travels [C]through your [D]veins

[Verse 5]
[Am]When you are lying half asle[G]ep
in your [D]room[Am]
Unaware if it is [G]midnight, or afternoon
[D]Bec[Am]ause the water doesn't
[G]flood the stair[D]well
[Am]It could be raining,
but then [G]you can never tell
[D]

[Verse 6]
[Am]If you're alone in this awfu[G]l downpour[D]
[Am]Then struggle free and paddle
[G]out the cellar door
[D][G]

[Verse 7]
In the evening light, the [D]boulevard[C]
Conceals the night, with [G]disregard
[D]For all the workers in a
[Em]west coast [C]shipyard
[G]When I rearrange, the sil[D]verware
[C]And re-install the the lights,
in [G]captain's chair
[D]I'll lift the ceiling off to
[Em]breathe the ocean air
[C]

[Verse 8]
[D]I am the engineer of [Em]forty freight trains
[G]that travel thr[C]ough your vei[D]ns

[Verse 9]
[Am]When you are lying half asle[G]ep
in your [D]room[Am]
Unaware if it is [G]midnight, or after[D]noon
[Am]Because the water doesn't
[G]flood the stair[D]well
[Am]It could be raining,
but then [G]you can never tell
[D]

[Verse 10]
[Am]If you're awake in this
[G]awful [D]downpour
[Am]Then struggle free and paddle
[G]out the cellar [D]door
[Am]When you are swimming in
[G]Miami at [D]night[Em]
[Am]And all around you in the
[G]traffic and city lights
