Nightswimm^Cing. Remem^Gbering that night. ^C, ^A Septem^Cber's coming soon. ^D5 I'm ^Cpining for the moon. ^C, ^D5 And ^Gwhat if there were two ^Cside ^Aby side ^C in orbit Arou^D5nd the fairest sun? ^G That bri^Cght, tig^D5ht foreve^Gr drum could not de^Cscribe ^A nightswimming ^C. ^D5 ^GYou, I thought I knew ^C you. ^D5, ^GYou, I cannot judge. ^C ^A ^CYou, I thought you know ^D5 me.
