Song: Swimming In Miami
Key: A
[Verse 1]
A E D
I'm alone above the atmosphere
A E
And no one looking up can find me here
F#m D
Cause I can close my eyes, and disappear
A E D
When I climb the stairs to watch the sun
A E
Above station walls, the colors run
F#m D
To fill the swimming pool when I am done
E F#m A/C# D E
I am the captain of an oil tanker that travels through your veins
[Verse 2]
A E D
When the satellites hang all around
A E
And I can finally hear the lovely sound
F#m D
When all the engines in the backroom die down
A E D
All the airships move across the sky
A E
And my equipment just keeps standing by
F#m D
The planets glow and intensify
E F#m A/C# D E
I am the pilot of a cargo airplane that travels through your veins
[Chorus 1]
Bm A E
When you are lying half asleep in your room
Bm A E
Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon
Bm A E
Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell
Bm A E
It could be raining but then you can never tell
Bm A E
If you're alone in this awful downpour
Bm A E
Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door
[Verse 3]
A E D
In the evening light, the boulevard
A E
Conceals the night with disregard
F#m D
For all the workers in a west coast ship yard
A E D
When I rearrange the silverware
A E
And re-install the lights and captain's chair
F#m D
I'll lift the ceiling off to breathe the ocean air
E F#m A/C# D E
I am the engineer of forty freight trains that travel through your veins
[Chorus 2]
Bm A E
When you are lying half asleep in your room
Bm A E
Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon
Bm A E
Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell
Bm A E
It could be raining but then you can never tell
Bm A E
If you're awake in this awful downpour
Bm A E
Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door
Bm A E F#m
When you are swimming in Miami at night
Bm A E
And all around you are the traffic and city lights
