Swimming Upstream

Well I've been living in a dream that I can't wake up from
                                      F
Swimming upstream I can't get to the sea
                     C
Where the fish swim free
     C
And staring at a screen that I don't get much from
                                         F
Staring so long, can't see wood from the trees
                     C
Or the birds from the bees
     G
And half of the time well it flies right by
     F                                         C
Like childhood did In the blink of an eye
    G
And half of the time, well it goes so slow
   F                                     C
I sit outside and watch the grass grow

Well I've been running on a treadmill, legs like lead
Will there ever be a needle for this thread
          F                       C
I've been weaving since I was born?
          C
And the papers read and the government said
I should stay in bed to stop the virus spread
           F                 C
I won't be leaving for so long
      G
Well some nights I feel okay
   F                               C
I close my eyes and I drift away
G                                       F
Some nights I just lay and stare at the ceiling
                            C
Like it's gonna go somewhere

  Oh and I keep swimming but I go nowhere
E                               Am
  It's all the same when I come up for air
F                      G7
  And I just can't get there
