[Em][C][D][Em]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
This [G]summer I went swimming
This [D]summer I might have [Em]drowned
But I held my breath and I [C]kicked my feet
And I [D]moved my arms a[Em]round
I [D]moved my arms a[G]round
This summer I swam in the ocean
And I [D]swam in a swimming [Em]pool
Salt my wounds, chlo[C]rine my eyes
I'm a [D]self-destructive [Em]fool
I'm a [D]self-destructive [G]fool

[Verse 2]
This [G]summer I did the backstroke
And you [D]know that that's not [Em]all
I did the breast stroke and the [C]butterfly
And the [D]old Australian [Em]crawl
The [D]old Australian [G]crawl
This summer I swam in a public place
And a [D]reservoir, to [Em]boot
At the latter I was in[C]formal
At the [D]former I wore my [Em]suit
I [D]wore my swimming [G]suit, yeah

[Verse 3]
This [G]summer I did swan dives
And [D]jackknifes for you [Em]all
And once when you weren't [C]looking
I [D]did a cannon[Em]ball
I [D]did a cannon[G]ball
This summer I went swimming
This [D]summer I might have [Em]drowned
But I held my breath and I [C]kicked my feet
And I [D]moved my arms a[Em]round
I [D]moved my arms a[G]round
