| Nightswimming deserves |
| C A C D5 |
| a quiet night. |
| G C D5 |
| The photograph on the dashboard, |
| G C A |
| taken years ago, |
| C |
| turned around backwards |
| D5 |
| so the windshield shows. |
| G C |
| Every streetlight |
| D5 G C A |
| reveals the picture in reverse. |
| C D5 |
| Still, it's so much clearer. |
| G C D5 |
| I forgot my shirt at |
| G |
| the water's edge. |
| C A C D5 |
| The moon is low tonight. |

| 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 |
| The fear of getting caught, |
| D5 G5 |
| of recklessness and water. |
| C D5 G |
| They cannot see me naked. |
| C A C |
| These things, they go away, |
| D5 G |
| replaced by everyday. |
| C G C A |
| Nightswimming. Remembering that night. |
| C D5 |
| September's coming soon. |
| C C D5 |
| I'm pining for the moon. |
| G C |
| And what if there were two |
| A C |
| side by side in orbit |
| D5 G |
| around the fairest sun? |
| C D5 G |
| That bright, tight forever drum |
| C A C D5 |
| could not describe nightswimming. |
| G C D5 |
| You, I thought I knew you. |
| G C A |
| You, I cannot judge. |
| C D5 |
| You, I thought you knew me. |
| G C |
| This one laughing quietly |
| D5 G C |
| underneath my breath. |
| A C D5 |
| Nightswimming. |
