Swans

Tom: D#
Intro: (D#  A#) 2x

D#                A#
At least come join me
                                    D#
Within the belly of the big blue beast.
                    A#
Set asail, catch a breeze,

And come on

          D#
Don't forget to fill your suitcase.
             A#
Now watch it sink,
                                          D#
Cause where we're going we don't need a thing.
                A#
Not a map, or a seed,

                                           G#
Cause where we've been is who we used to be.
                                     A#
We started wrapping our regrets in cloth
                                       G#
Are you defined by all the things you want...
                 A#
Or did you get caught
                              D#
Up in the things that we are not?

A#  D#  A#

          D#                            A#
You were born to believe you can't get lost,
                                     D#
So when you run, you always get too far.
                                 A#
Now there's nothing you haven't seen.

                                      G#
But where we're headed we have never been,
                                   A#
Past the pavement that we used to walk,
                                 G#
Past the people that we used to know.
             A#
Now come on, go
                                     G#
Past the people that had broke our hearts.
                                  A#
We started laughing at them from afar.
                                         G#
But now we've climbed too far without a rope.
             A#
Now come on, go

             D#
No we're not swans,
                           G#
Nor are we as ugly as we think we are.
                                   D#
We don't take to compliments but please don't stop
           A#     G#
Now come on, come on,
        D#
We are not swans
                                G#
We fit into eachother, we are russian dolls,
                                        D#
Where somewhere in the centre sits a beating heart.
           A#     G#
But come on, come on,
            D#
We are not swans.

A#  D#  A#

                                G#
Now do you feel we've gone too far
                                  A#
Or do you feel we've reached the top
                            G#
Or do you feel like letting go
               A#
Now come on, hold on,

         D#
We are not swans,
                           G#
Nor are we as ugly as we think we are.
                                     D#
We have fallen fast, but we aren't falling far
           A#      G#
Now come on, come on,
           D#
We are not swans,
                                      G#
Our fathers gave us features that we didn't want,
                                            D#
Our mothers claim those features made them fall in love,
           A#       G#
But come on, come on,
     D#
We are swans.
                                  G#
We are flying higher than our counterparts.
                                D#
We have got eachother I'd say that's enough.
          A#
Now come on,
      G#
come on,
      D#
come on.
