Stop Swimming

Porcupine Tree [Written by Steven Wilson]
Am X02210 Badd11 799800 
Em 022000 G/D XX0433
Fmaj7 133210 
Fm 122111 
E 022100


Am Em Fmaj7
This song leaks out onto the pavement
Am Em Fmaj7 Fm
It could be a joke, it could be a statement
Am Em Fmaj7 Fm
The more that I fake it and pretend I don't care
Am Em Fmaj7 Fm
The more you can read in to what isn't there

Chorus:
Am Em Fmaj7 
Maybe it's time to stop swimming
Am Em Fmaj7 
Maybe it's time to find out where I'm at
Am Em Fmaj7 
What I should do and where I should be
Am Em Fmaj7 Fm E 
But no-one will give me a map

D - G/D E x2 D - G/D E 

Badd11 D - G/D 

Am Em Fmaj7 
I'll leave now this can't continue
Am Em Fmaj7 Fm
But I forget which door I came through
Am Em Fmaj7 Fm
And I know that the lift can be painfully slow
Am Em Fmaj7 Fm E
So I'm happy to leave by the window Oh........Softly

D - G/D E Badd11 D - G/D

No Picture Razzle Wanna Be	#1 by Razzle jester at Sep 20, 1971 at 5:02 PM EST
	I really REALLY want to hear this song now. It sounds like it has some real meaning to it. I'm searching for it everywhere all over the internet and can't find it anywhere. :(

No Picture Mark Wanna Be	#2 by Mark masta at Oct 15, 1973 at 7:31 PM EST
	What is the thing Steven Wilson is singing after the second verse? It sounds kind of like "He is suffering/he'll softly land."

No Picture Turd Fergeson Lead Player	#3 by Turd Fergeson Fergeson at Sep 7, 1979 at 9:24 PM EST
	This is, for me personally, the most emotionally charged song the band has ever done. It's such a tragic story. Few songs have ever pulled tears from my eyes, but this would be one of them.

	and you can even hear his scream as he's falling ;]

No Picture Jeremy Rhythm Player	#5 by Jeremy Dosser at Apr 28, 1986 at 8:32 PM EST
	I think this song is just about someone realizing their life is directionless...maybe even pointless. The last verse makes me think maybe that person is sick of the directionlessness...and opts for suicide ("I'll leave now this can't continue...I'm happy to leave by the window"). Just a thought.

	hauntingly beautiful

No Picture Jp Wanna Be	#7 by Jp Collins at Jul 28, 1990 at 12:19 PM EST
	Definetly the sound of a heartbeat and then a thud at the end. Listen for it the last 5 seconds. =\

No Picture Harvey Rhythm Player	#8 by Harvey Puentes at Mar 31, 2002 at 11:14 AM EST
	to: m43k where exactly is the scream? i seem to have missed it

No Picture Brett Professional	#9 by Brett Czap at Apr 24, 2002 at 11:23 PM EST
	'This song leaks on to the pavement' seems to be forshadowing the jump from a certain point of view, too...

No Picture ryan Average	#10 by ryan oh at Jun 16, 2005 at 1:52 PM EST
	This song reminds me of my life. I pretty much did fuckall with my life this far. I've been living in kind of a daze for the longest time, and looking back, I probably should have done a lot more.. There's times I thought about ending it all, but I usually try to look at shit from a better point of view.
