i made this listening to the live version, and it's just the chords... so w/e
i mean the cd's not out for another 2 months, but this is the basic gist... aslo note 
is my first tab ever, all by ear.

*note: the Bb's in parenthesis (Bb) means it's optional, the song will work with or 
them.

Chords: (i play the basic bar chords)

Eb: x68886
Ab: 466544
Bb: 688766

Intro:   Eb    (Bb) Ab
         Eb    (Bb) Ab


                                 verse-1

          Eb
You gotta swim
(Bb)           Ab
Swim for your life
             Eb
Swim for the music

That saves you
                   (Bb)           Ab
When you're not so sure you'll survive
          Eb
You gotta swim
(Bb)          Ab
Swim when it hurts
                   Eb
The whole world is watching

You haven't come this far
   (Bb)         Ab
To fall off the earth
    Bb
The currents will pull you
               Ab
Away from your love

Just keep your head above


                                   Chorus
Eb
I found a tidal wave
 Bb                      Ab
Begging to tear down the door
Eb
Memories like bullets
     Bb                 Ab
They fired at me from a gun
 Eb         Bb
Cracking me open now
Eb
I swim to brighter days
Bb                         Ab
In spite of the absense of sun
 Eb        Bb
Choking on salt water
Ab    Eb         Bb
  I'm not giving in


          Eb     (Bb) Ab
You gotta swim

Eb    (Bb) Ab


                                   Verse-2
          Eb
You gotta swim
 (Bb)         Ab
Tonight's the moment
              Eb
Swim for your family

Your mothers your sisters
    (Bb)           Ab
Your brothers your friends
          Eb
You gotta swim
   (Bb)          Ab
For wars without cause
               Eb
Swim for these lost politicians
    (Bb)                       Ab
Who don't see their greed is a flaw
    Bb
The currents will pull us
              Ab
Away from our love

Just keep your head above


                                    Chorus
Eb
I found a tidal wave
Bb                       Ab
Begging to tear down the door
Eb
Memories like bullets
     Bb                 Ab
They fired at me from a gun
Eb          Bb
Cracking me open now
Eb
I swim to brighter days
Bb                         Ab
In spite of the absense of sun
 Eb        Bb
Choking on salt water
Ab    Eb         Bb  (Eb Bb)
  I'm not giving in
Ab    Eb         Bb
  I'm not giving in


Eb    (Bb) Ab
Swim
Eb    (Bb) Ab


                                     Verse-3
          Eb
You gotta swim
(Bb)        Ab
Swim in the dark
                     Eb
There's an ocean to drift in
                      (Bb)            Ab
Feel the tide shifting away from this war
               Eb
Yeah you gotta swim
     (Bb)          Ab
Don't let yourself sink
                  Eb
Just follow the horizon
                     (Bb)         Ab
I promise it's not as far as you think
Bb                                  Ab
Currents will drag us away from our love
                          Eb     (Bb) Ab
Just keep your head above


                                    Ending

Just keep your head above
Eb      (Bb) Ab
Swim

Just keep your head above
Eb      (Bb) Ab
Swim

Just keep your head above
Eb      (Bb) Ab         (end on Bb)
Swim
