Swimmin Time

Title track from the forthcoming release. Chords are all correct but the lyrics need some help
(uncertainties are marked with ?'s). Any ideas and corrections would be appreciated. As for the chords, you
can hear the jump back and forth on the bass notes on Am and Dm. Enjoy!

"Swimmin' Time"
by Shovels and Rope
'Swimmin' Time'

Capo on 2nd

Intro: Am

Am
You can see the water coming out of the ground
Dm
You can see the foundation slipping down
        Am
But you can't help but wonder how long it will be
           Dm
Before the restless ocean comes lapping through the branches of the trees

         F
When the full moon pulls up a mighty tide and there's no place to run and no place to hide
         E
When the ghosts in the ocean turn up the sea and the waves come crashing over you and me

             Am                   Dm
I can see it coming, I can see it coming
             Am                   Dm
I can see it coming, I can see it coming

         Am
When the distance is the ? of the ? day (?)

When the sun calls forth its wandering rays
     Dm
When all of the island has gone to rust

And every living thing has turned to dust

      Am
There won't be anyone left to float your boat

They all went to high ground while their vessels couldn't float
     Dm
They scream God's will but you know it's a lie

But you own book it says, "by fire next time"

        F
But the golden age cracked open and there was nothing inside (?)
E
Cast off the ? , build a levy of lies (?)

             Am                   Dm
I can see it coming, I can see it coming
             Am                   Dm
I can see it coming, I can see it coming

     F
Bite down on the leather and close your eyes
        E
There's nothing to be done that could turn the tide
    F
The money in your eyes has left you blind
       E
You'll be the one drowning when it's swimming time

             Am                   Dm
I can see it coming, I can see it coming
             Am                   Dm
I can see it coming, I can see it coming
