Against The Current

Tuning: Standard
Capo on 2

[Intro] 
C Am F Fm

[Verse 1]
        C
So they say
                Am
There are other fishes in the sea
        F
But the only one that's missing
       Fm
is the one that swims for me.
           C
And so you say,
                   Am
"Oh dear just wait patiently,
F                       Fm
Love will come along, eventually."

[Chorus 1]
     F         G                 C
So I tried to swim against the current
   F       G            C       Am
To live my life and let me be
         F             G
So don't cast me a line
            C    G      F
'cause I've run out of time
   F   G   C
To live a lie

[Verse 2]
          C
I can't deny
                    Am
You've hooked me so deep again
           F
With your smart and witty lines
         Fm
You have soiled my disguise
              C
and then the waves
                        Am
oh the waves they come crashing down
        F
when I see the look in your eyes
            Fm
when you're watching her walk by

[Bridge 1]
           F      G      C                   F
"If you're looking to fit in then join the rest
           F           G     C              F
'Cause you know you'll only end up second best"
     Fm
They said,

[Chorus 2]
       F       G               C
If you want to swim along the current,
     F       G                C       Am
then act and speak the way we do
    F           G
You may be untrue
             C  G      F
but if you'd rather be us
      F G     C
Then why be you.

[Bridge 2]
                 F   G   Am   
What a beautiful lie
                 F   G   Am   
What a beautiful lie
                 F   G   Am   
What a beautiful lie, 
   F      
to live.

[Chorus 3]
        F          G                   C
So I've learned to swim against the current
     F      G                C       Am
To live my life and now I'm free
    F           G 
Because honestly,
                C         G    F
there's no one else I'd rather be.
   F    G   C
So watch me leave
