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

G G C C D5 D5 G G
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
C C D5 D5 G5 G5
i'm not sure all these people understand.
C C D5 D5 G G
it's not like years ago,
C C A A C C
the fear of getting caught,
D5 D5 G5 G5
of recklessness and water.
C C D5 D5 G G
they cannot see me naked.
C C A A C C
these things, they go away,
D5 D5 G G
replaced by everyday.
C C G G C C A A
Nightswimming, remembering that night.
C C D5 D5
september's coming soon.
C C C C D5 D5
i'm pining for the moon.
G G C C
and what if there were two
A A C C
side by side in orbit
D5 D5 G G
around the fairest sun?
C C D5 D5 G G
that bright, tight forever drum
C C A A C C D5 D5
could not describe nightswimming.
G G C C D5 D5
You, i thought i knew you.
G G C C A A
you i cannot judge.
G G D5 D5
you, i thought you knew me,
G G C C D5 D5 G G C C
this one laughing quietly underneath my breath.
A A C C D5 D5
nightswimming.

G G C C
The photograph reflects,

every streetlight a reminder.

deserves a quiet night.

About this song: Nightswimming

Track 11 of 12 on the album Automatic For The People.In the liner notes of 'In Time: The Best of R.E.M.' (2003) guitarist Peter Buck says that this is the only R.E.M. song where the lyrics came before the music. Lead singer Michael Stipe told Buck & bassist/ keyboardist Mike Mills he had written a full set of lyrics & maybe they could find some suitable music. When the band returned to the studio, Mills played a piece on the piano which fit Stipe's lyrics perfectly. Read more on Last.fm.
