Biography:
Courtney Barnett is an Australian singer/songwriter originally from Sydney, New South Wales; later moving to Hobart, Tasmania[/placeform] where she began performing music in 2006 before relocating to Melbourne in 2010.
Barnett puts a lot of effort into sounding effortless. Her songs are wild and wooly and wordy, her lyrics plainspoken and delivered like she’s making them up on the spot.
Barnett was originally a part of several bands, including Immigrant Union and The Olivettes before focusing on her solo work.

[Intro] (x2)
D B C C#
[Verse]
D
I saw you in the lane next to me
A
You were doing freestyle, then you switched it around
To a little bit of backstroke
A
I couldn't see underneath
D
Your swimming cap, but it appeared that you had
A
Dark colored hair, maybe it was blonde for all I know
A
I had goggles on
A
They were getting foggy
A
I much prefer swimming to jogging
[Instrumental] (x2)
D B C C#
[Verse]
D
I tried my very best to impress you
A
Held my breath longer than I normally do
A
I was getting dizzy
My hair was wet and
D
Felt my muscles burn, I took a tumble turn
For the worse, it's a curse
A A
My lack of athleticism, sunk like a stone
A
Like a first owner's home loan
A
When I came to, you and your towel were gone
