C G C A | Nightswimming. Remembering that night. C D5 C C D5 | September's coming soon. I'm pining for the moon.
And Gwhat if there were two C side A by side C in orbit aroD5und the fairest sun' G 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.
