Intro: Am7 Dsus2
Am7 Dsus2
I´ve watched the stars fall silent
from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
I can´t believe that I
believed I wished that you could see
There´s a new planet in the solar system
There is nothing up my sleeve
C C/B Am
I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
G
Crashing to the ground
Am7 Dsus2
And all this talk of time
Talk is fine
And I don´t want to stay around
Why can´t we pantomime, just
close our eyes and sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet
C C/B Am
I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
G
Crashing to the ground
Am C G D Am
I´m breaking through I´m bending spoons
C G (hold) Am
I´m keeping flowers in full bloom
C G D C
I´m looking for answers from the great beyond
Am7 D2
I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
Look into the stars
Look into the moon
C C/B Am
I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs

Over my shoulder a piano falls

Hello everyone and welcome to my endevour to keep myself sane. I'm going to submit a set
of chords to UG for a great song once or twice a week in an effort to stop myself dying
of boredom during these exam thingys. I've been playing these chords for as long as I've
played guitar (two years...) and so I know for a fact they're accurate.

Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise
The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.
This letter
Fields of poppies, little pearls
All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
Each and every one a little scary
I said your name
I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
Dreaming of Maria Callas
Whoever she is
This fame thing, I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far
This star thing,
I don't get it
I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over
Will you live to 83?
Will you ever welcome me?
Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
Smoke it, drink
Here comes the flood
Anything to thin the blood
These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
Phone, eat it, drink
Just another chink
Cuts and dents, they catch the light
Aluminum, the weakest link
I don't want to disappoint you
I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet
But is that the sickest move?
I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
My loss, and here we go again
I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over
Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise
I can't look it in the eyes
Seconal, Spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
Cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
The sweat, the victory and sorrow
The smell of fear, I got it

Verse 1:
|G C9 D |
Night - swimming...
|G C9 A9* |
deserves a quiet night.
|C9 D |
The..
|G C9 D |
photograph on the dashboard,
|G C9 A9* |
taken years ago,
|C9 D |
turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
|G C9 D |
Every streetlight reveals the
|G C9 A9* |
picture in re-verse.
|C9 D |
Still it's so much clearer.
|G C9 D |
I forgot my shirt at the
|G C9 A9* |
water's edge. The moon is low to-
|C9 D |
-night.

Verse 2:
|G C9 D |
Night - swimming...
|G C9 A9* |
deserves a quiet night. I’m
|C9 D |
not sure all these people under-
|G C9 D |
-stand. It’s not like years
|G C9 A9* |
ago. The fear of getting
|C9 D |
caught, of recklessness and
|G C9 D |
water. They cannot see me
|G C9 A9* |
naked. These things they go
|C9 D |
away, replaced by every(day).
Verse 3:
|G C9 D |
-day. Night - swimming...
|G C9 A9* |
remembering that night. Sep-
|C9 D |
-tember's coming soon. I'm
|G C9 D |
pining for the moon. And
|G C9 A9* |
what if there were two side by
|C9 D |
side in orbit around the fairest
|G C9 D |
sun? That bright, tight for-
|G C9 A9* |
-ever drum cannot describe night-
|C9 D |
swimming.
Verse 4:
|G C9 D |
You, I thought I knew you.
|G C9 A9* |
You, I can-not judge.
|C9 D |
You, I thought you knew me. This one’s
|G C9 D |
laughing quiet-ly under-
|G C9 A9* |
-neath my breath. Night-
|C9 D |
swimming.

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.
Still, it's so much clearer.
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge.
The moon is low tonight.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
I'm not sure all these people understand.
It's not like years ago,
The fear of getting caught,
Of recklessness and water.
They cannot see me naked.
These things, they go away,
Replaced by everyday.
Nightswimming, remembering that night.
September's coming soon.
I'm pining for the moon.
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming.
You, I thought I knew you.
You I cannot judge.
You, I thought you knew me,
this one laughing quietly
underneath my breath.
Nightswimming.
The photograph reflects,
Every streetlight a reminder.
Nightswimming
deserves a quiet night,
deserves a quiet night.
