Intro: Riff A x4
Verse 1
Riff A x4
When the summer is young
and nobody has their prices
Riff B x2
No one is no one
Riff A x2
and nobody in a crisis
Chorus
D5 A5 F#5
There™s no swimming past the drop-off
D5 A5 F#5
or feeling sorry for yourself
D5 A5 F#5
Ya don™t go swimming past the drop-off
D5 A5 Riff Ax4
or else
Verse 2
Yer a pistol, yer a gun
and suddenly I have no prices
I™m like a friend of Dylan™s
our shovels meeting in some crisis
Chorus
D5 A5 F#5
But there™s no swimming past the drop-off
D5 A5 F#5
Yea we don™t replace ourselves
D5 A5 F#5
Ya don™t go swimming past the drop-off
D5 E5
or else
Bridge 1
E5 E5 E5 E5 D5
The fates are amok and spun, measured and cut and the past is meant to please us
E5 E5 E5 E5 D5
Yer a comet from earth in a Kiss Alive shirt saying, ˜holy fuck, it™s jesus!?’
E5 E5 E5 E5 D5
The surface is green and the dark interweaves in a lonely iridescence
E5 E5 E5 E5 D5 A5
It™s terribly deep and the cold is complete and it only lacks a presence
Riff A x4
and nothing else.
Verse 3
When the summer is done
and nobody sympathizes
Yer no friend of Dylan™s
Yea, you won™t see another crisis
Chorus
There™s no swimming past the drop-off
or feeling sorry for ourselves
Ya don™t go swimming past the drop-off
or else
Bridge 2
Personal stakes will get raised and get raised til your story gets compelling
If you lacked the sense or were willfully dense is forever in the telling
The surface is green and the dark interweaves in a lonely iridescence
E5 E5 E5 E5 D5 A5
It™s terribly deep and the cold is complete and it only lacks a presence
C5
and nothing else.
D5
nothing else
E5
nothing else
Riff A x4
and no one else.
