  G            C    D5            G                       C   A | C  | D5 |
     Nightswimming      deserves     a quiet night.
      G                     C      D5  G                  C   A |
  The photograph on the dashboard,    taken years ago,
      C                          D5
  turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
  G                 C      D5         G                   C   A |
  Every streetlight   reveals the picture in reverse.
  C                       D5
  Still, it's so much clearer.
  G                 C   D5        G
  I forgot my shirt   at   the water's edge.
      C           A          C    |  D5  |
  The moon is low   tonight.
  
  
  {Play Rhy. Fig. 1}
  
  
  
  G            C    D5            G
     Nightswimming      deserves     a quiet night.
      C                     D5                    G5
  I'm not sure all these people understand.
       C            D5       G
  It's not like years   ago,
      C          A            C     D5                 G5
  The fear of getting caught,    of recklessness and water.
         C     D5      G
  They cannot see me naked.
          C          A        C      D5                   G
  These things, they go away,    replaced by everyday.
  
            C         G                      C  A |
  Nightswimming.  Remembering that night.
       C                     D5         C                      C  D5 |
  September's coming soon.          I'm pining for the moon.
      G                      C      A         C
  And what if there were two   side   by side   in orbit
     D5                      G
  around the fairest sun?
         C       D5       G                  C       A             C      | D5 |
  That bright, tight forever drum could not describe   nightswimming.
  
  G                     C       D5   G                     C   A |
  You, I thought I knew   you.       You, I cannot judge.
  C                       D5
  You, I thought you knew    me.
                G           C   D5         G              C
  This one laughing quietly     underneath   my breath.
  A         C     |  D5  |
   Nightswimming.

      G                       C
  The photograph reflects,
  D5          G             C
  every streetlight a reminder.
  A           C        D5                 G   | C D5|
    Nightswimming deserves a quiet night,
  G           C          A        C   |  D5  |
          deserves a quiet night.
